dough
- 500 g Flour
- 5 Pc. Eggs
- 30 g Baking powder
- 15 g Baking soda
- 300 g Sugar
- 150 g Margarine
- 100 g Ground hazelnuts
- 300 g Pumpkin puree
- 1 pinch Ground cinnamon
- 100 ml Rum
- 20 g Bourbon vanilla
- 1 pinch Salt
Ganache
- 200 ml Cream
- 400 g Dark chocolate callets
- 2 Pc. Oranges
- 100 ml Orange liqueur
Decoration / filling
- 100 g Pumpkin seeds
- 400 g Cream cheese
- 50 ml Milk
- 250 g Powdered sugar
- 1 tsp Cinnamon
- 250 g Fondant, green
Bundt cake dough
- Grease two Gugelhupf tins and sprinkle with breadcrumbs. Beat the eggs with the margarine and sugar, vanilla sugar and cinnamon until frothy and stir in the remaining ingredients. Pour the batter into the baking tins. Bake in a preheated oven at 180 degrees for about 30-35 minutes.
Orange dark ganache
- The dark orange ganache serves on the one hand as a filling later, on the other hand as a decoration and “glue”. The cream is boiled and the chocolate is stirred under it. The whole thing is seasoned with the zest of the orange and the orange liqueur.
Decoration
- For the cinnamon frosting, the cream cheese, powdered sugar, milk and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon are mixed together and then colored with orange food coloring. The frosting later results in the pumpkin coating. It is then placed in the refrigerator for cooling. A pumpkin stalk is then formed from green fondant. Meanwhile, toast the pumpkin seeds in the pan and caramelize. These are then added to the cake for further filling.
Put together
- Cut the Gugel cake horizontally into 3 parts each, fill with ganache, cream and pumpkin seeds and reassemble. Turn the lower Gugelhupf “upside down”, coat the top again with filling and build the second Gugelhupf on top. The pumpkin shape is created. Brush, cover and decorate the “pumpkin” at the end.
