Ingredients

Würzig, saftig und fluffig zugleich: Dieser Kürbiskuchen aus Rührteig versüßt jeden Herbst-Tag!

For the Cake

  • 3 mittelgroße Eier
  • 140 Gramm Rohrzucker (oder brauner Zucker)
  • 110 Gramm Kokosöl (oder Sonnenblumenöl)
  • 170 Gramm Kürbispüree (siehe Tipp)
  • 1 Esslöffel Ahornsirup (optional)
  • 1/2 Teelöffel Vanilleextrakt
  • 200 Gramm Weizenmehl
  • 2 Teelöffel Backpulver
  • 3 Teelöffel Pumpkin-Spice (siehe Tipp)

For the Glaze

  • 100 Gramm Puderzucker
  • 2 Esslöffel Milch (grobe Angabe)
  • 2 Esslöffel Ahornsirup

How to Make Pumpkin Spice Kuchen

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Heizen Sie den Backofen auf 175 Grad Ober- und Unterhitze vor. Bereiten Sie eine kleine Springform (20-22 cm) vor, indem Sie diese einfetten und mit Mehl bestäuben.

Step 2: Mix Wet Ingredients

In einer großen Rührschüssel schlagen Sie die Eier mit dem Zucker einige Minuten schaumig. Fügen Sie das Öl, das Kürbispüree, den Vanilleextrakt sowie optional den Ahornsirup hinzu und rühren Sie alles kurz um.

Step 3: Combine Dry Ingredients

Mischen Sie alle trockenen Zutaten in einer separaten Schüssel. Geben Sie diese dann zu den feuchten Zutaten in die Rührschüssel und rühren Sie kräftig um. Achten Sie darauf, nur so lange zu rühren, bis keine Klümpchen mehr vorhanden sind.

Step 4: Bake the Cake

Gießen Sie den Teig in die vorbereitete Springform. Backen Sie den Kuchen für 25 Minuten, decken Sie ihn dann ab und backen Sie ihn weitere ca. 20 Minuten. Machen Sie eine Stäbchenprobe. Der Kuchen sollte noch leicht feucht sein. Lassen Sie ihn abkühlen.

Step 5: Prepare the Glaze

In einer kleinen Schüssel sieben Sie den Puderzucker und mischen ihn mit der Milch und dem Ahornsirup, bis eine glatte Glasur entsteht. Verwenden Sie nur so viel Milch wie nötig, damit der Guss nicht zu dünnflüssig ist.

Step 6: Glaze the Cake

Verteilen Sie die Glasur gleichmäßig auf dem abgekühlten Kuchen. Servieren und genießen!

How to Serve Pumpkin Spice Kuchen

Pumpkin Spice Kuchen is a delightful treat that can be enjoyed in various ways. Whether you’re hosting a gathering or simply indulging yourself, these serving suggestions will enhance your experience.

With Whipped Coconut Cream

  • Top your slice with fluffy whipped coconut cream for a dairy-free alternative that adds a light and airy texture.

Accompanied by Fresh Fruit

  • Serve with slices of fresh apples or pears for a refreshing contrast. Their natural sweetness complements the spiced flavors perfectly.

Pairing with Hot Beverages

  • Enjoy alongside a cup of coffee, tea, or chai latte to elevate the cozy autumn vibe. The warmth of the beverage enhances the spices in the cake.

Drizzled with Maple Syrup

  • A drizzle of pure maple syrup adds an extra layer of flavor and sweetness. It pairs wonderfully with the pumpkin and spice notes.

How to Perfect Pumpkin Spice Kuchen

To ensure your Pumpkin Spice Kuchen turns out perfectly every time, follow these helpful tips.

  • Use Fresh Ingredients – Fresh eggs and quality pumpkin puree provide better flavor and texture than older ingredients.
  • Measure Accurately – Proper measuring of flour and sugar prevents density issues. Use weight measurements if possible.
  • Don’t Overmix – Mix just until combined to keep the cake light and fluffy. Overmixing can make it dense.
  • Check Doneness Carefully – Insert a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean but slightly moist for best results.
  • Cool Completely Before Frosting – Allow the cake to cool fully before applying the glaze to avoid melting and running off.

Best Side Dishes for Pumpkin Spice Kuchen

When serving Pumpkin Spice Kuchen, consider offering some delicious side dishes that pair well with its warm, spiced flavors.

  1. Cinnamon-Spiced Apples – Sauté sliced apples with cinnamon for a warm side dish that enhances the autumn theme.
  2. Chai-Spiced Rice Pudding – Creamy rice pudding infused with chai spices complements the cake’s flavors beautifully.
  3. Caramelized Nuts – Sweetly caramelized pecans or walnuts add crunch and richness when served alongside each slice.
  4. Creamy Mashed Sweet Potatoes – The natural sweetness of sweet potatoes creates a harmonious balance with the spiced cake.
  5. Autumn Salad – A salad with mixed greens, dried cranberries, and nuts provides freshness and contrast to the rich dessert.
  6. Pumpkin Soup – A warm bowl of pumpkin soup can enhance your fall-themed meal while keeping everything cohesive in flavor.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Baking a Pumpkin Spice Kuchen can be delightful, but there are common pitfalls that can affect your results.

  • Bold Ingredient Substitutions: Using incorrect substitutes can alter the cake’s texture. Stick to the recommended oils and ensure your pumpkin puree is fresh.
  • Bold Overmixing the Batter: Mixing too long leads to a dense cake. Stir until just combined to keep it fluffy.
  • Bold Skipping the Stab Test: Not checking if the cake is done could result in undercooked or overbaked layers. Use a toothpick to check for doneness before removing from the oven.
  • Bold Ignoring Cooling Time: Cutting into the cake too early can cause it to crumble. Allow it to cool completely for better slicing.
  • Bold Incorrect Oven Temperature: Baking at an incorrect temperature can lead to uneven baking. Always preheat your oven properly.
