🧑‍🍳 Here's how – step by step

1. Prepare pumpkin dough Preheat oven to 190°C top/bottom heat. Mix dry ingredients (flour, baking soda, salt, spice) in a bowl. In a second bowl, mix pumpkin puree, cashew butter, sugar, plant drink, citrus juice and vanilla. Then carefully mix everything into a dough using a spatula or spoon - only stir as much as necessary.

2. Baking Spread the dough onto a tray lined with baking paper. Bake for 25-30 minutes - don't forget to test the chopsticks. Then let it cool completely.

3. Mix the frosting While the cake is baking, melt the coconut oil. Put the cashew butter, vanilla, maple syrup, plant drink, salt and citrus juice in a bowl and beat with a mixer until creamy. Then stir in the liquid coconut oil. Chill the cream for at least 1.5-2 hours.

4. Whip up the frosting After cooling, beat the frosting again with a mixer until it becomes lighter and fluffier. HEALTHBAR Matcha Stir in and continue to beat briefly. Refrigerate until ready to use.
