This pie is so simple that even the smallest cooks can cook it! A minimum of products, effort and time combined with an excellent result. The taste of pumpkin combined with notes of citrus and vanilla will not leave anyone indifferent to a sweet tooth. The recipe has been tested by time and many housewives (my mom’s colleagues often delight their household with this wonderful cake), so cook, don’t be afraid! I didn’t find anything like this on the site, so I’m in a hurry to share it with you.
To make a pie, we need to mix all the “wet” products in one bowl, and the “dry” ones in the other, and then combine them. We do this so that semolina does not have time to swell and turn into porridge. First prepare the ingredients for the first bowl. Rub the pumpkin on a coarse grater.
Grate the zest of one (medium-sized) lemon. Don’t put it off, it will still be useful to us.
Pour 250 ml of kefir (fat content does not matter).
Mix the prepared foods together and set aside.
In the second bowl, mix the bulk products: semolina, sugar, baking powder, vanilla sugar.
Now quickly combine the contents of the two bowls and mix. Do not be afraid if the dough turns out to be too thick (the desired consistency in the photo). If necessary, you can add a little more kefir. Put the resulting mass in a pre-oiled mold and send it to the oven, preheated to 180 degrees, for 40-45 minutes.
Let’s do the impregnation. Pour 60 ml of water into a cup, squeeze the juice from half a lemon, add the remaining sugar, mix. To make the sugar dissolve faster, you can slightly heat the liquid in a microwave oven.
After 45 minutes, we take our pie out of the oven. Using a silicone brush, lubricate with the prepared impregnation. Let it stand for a while.
Decorate the cake if desired. I sprinkled powdered sugar and put slices of tangerine, lemon, cranberries. You can also decorate with coconut chips or chocolate, it all depends on your imagination.
That’s it! Our pie is ready! It can be eaten both hot and cold.
