Do you want to do something special for Halloween? Are you good at cooking? Why don't you surprise your friends with a delicious Halloween pumpkin cake? Sofía Bizi from 2º ESo A has sent us this traditional recipe. Let's cook it at home!

Ingredients:
200g of pumpkin pulp,100g of peeled walnuts, 60g of butter, 100g of flour,1 apple,1 spoon of vanilla sugar,110g of sugar, 5 eggs,1 bag of baking powder, nutmeg and salt.

Peel, core and chop the apple and the pumpkin pulp. Put a little butter into a baking tin. Melt the remaining butter in a frying pan over a low heat. Also, add 50g of sugar and vanilla sugar. Cook all these ingredients together until you get a golden caramel. Then, add the apple and the pumpkin to the frying pan and cook them for a couple of minutes. Remove the mixture from the frying pan and place it in a decorative way in the baking tin. Put the eggs and the remaining sugar into a bowl, beat them until the egg cream becomes white. Gradually, add the flour, the baking powder and some salt. Finally add the peeled walnuts and the nutmeg and stir. Pour the mixture into the baking tin. Bake everything in the oven preheated to 180º C for 35 minutes...AND finally… it’s ready to eat!
