- 55 minutes to make
- Serves 8
This cake has a sweet short crust pastry that has the incredible advantage of remaining “crusty” (or croustillant, my favourite French word!!!) for days, even with the moistest filling. On the other hand, I found it a bit too much hard on the first day, but ok after the second day in the fridge.

How to make it

- the mixing jar and using the K beater, knead the pastry until
- crumbled. Add 2 or 3 tablespoons of iced water, knead until you
- obtain a bowl. Cover it in plastic and refrigerate for at least 30
- minutes.
- Preheat the oven at 160° C.
- Roll it in a 3 mm thick circle and cover a cake tin of 26 cm. Pick the base
- with a fork. Cover it with greaseproof and fill it with rice or dry
- beans, and cook it for 10 minutes. Discard the greaseproof paper,
- altogether with the rice or the dry beans, and cook it for another 10
- minutes.
- Clean and cut the pumpkin in cubes. Steam it until tender.
- While the base is cooking, mix the pumpkin with the rest of the
- ingredients. Fill in the cake base and cook for another 45 minutes.
- Let it cool, unmould it and serve it with cream, whipped with 3
- tablespoons of brown sugar.
