Pumpkin sponge cake with chocolate glaze

Preparation

1. We will have the half-cooked pumpkin ready in advance, for this we cook it in water in a saucepan or we can put it in our Thermomix for 20 to 25 minutes at varoma temperature and at 0,5 speed. Then we will drain and we can use it in our recipe.

2. We heat the oven to 180 °. In our Thermomix glass we add the 400 g of pumpkin, the 5 eggs, the 150 ml of sunflower oil and the 200 ml of orange juices. We mix and grind it for 1 minute at speed 5. 

3. We add the 330 g of sugar and the 2 tablespoons of vanilla extract and we program again during 30 seconds at speed 2.

4. We add the 200 g of wheat flour and the 15 g of dry yeast. We mix it during 1 minute at kneading speed. Finally we add the remaining 200 g of wheat flour and we program again 1 minute at kneading speed.

5. Prepare a rectangular mold of approximately 32 x 21 cm and spread it all over its surface and edges with the tablespoon of butter. We add the cake dough and let it bake in the oven at medium height and with heat up and down, for 40 minutes.

6. We prepare the chocolate coating. In our clean Thermomix glass we add the 180 g of sugar, the 100 g of soft butter, the 150 g of cocoa powder and the 75 ml of whole milk. We schedule it during 3 minutes at 90 ° at speed 1,5.

7. When we have our cake baked we pour the glaze on top and let everything warm up. Once tempered, we will put it in the refrigerator so that its coating hardens. We serve in square portions.
