flour

🥗Healthier: almond flour

💰Cheaper: all-purpose flour

eggs

🥗Healthier: flaxseed meal

💰Cheaper: egg substitute

Flaxseed meal provides binding properties in a vegan option.

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).

In a mixing bowl, combine the eggs and sugar, whisking until well blended.

Add the flour, oil, pumpkin puree, vanilla sugar, salt, orange zest, and baking powder to the mixture, and mix until smooth.

Pour the batter into a square baking mold (23 cm x 23 cm).

Bake in the preheated oven for about 30-40 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.

While the cake is baking, prepare the orange curd by whisking the egg yolks, sugar, and cornstarch in a saucepan.

Gradually add the orange juice and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until thickened.

Remove from heat and stir in the butter and optional orange flavoring.

Once the cake is cool, spread the orange curd on top and decorate with whipped cream or cream cheese.
