Pumpkin pie, chestnuts and chocolate!

Sweet, delicious, with that filling of jam that makes it more tasty and fresh, a treat to be enjoyed with tea and four friends.

Separate the yolks from the whites and whip the first with the sugar until the mixture is light and light. I used the kitchen whisk but you can also use the mixer if you prefer.

Apart from whipping the egg whites until stiff, we give the cake a lot of lightness so as to contrast with the weight of the pumpkin, helping it to grow. Add the pumpkin pulp to the egg yolks, mix well.

Gradually add the sifted powders (flour and yeast), eventually at this point you can add spices if you like them. The classic spices used with sweet pumpkin recipes are cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves.

Alternate with the powders the whipped egg whites and finally add the chocolate drops. My dough was quite firm, which allowed the drops not to sink to the bottom. If your dough is liquid, add some flour.

We incorporate with movements from bottom to top, so as not to disassemble the compound. Butter the pan and place a disk of parchment paper on the bottom. We flour the sides and we pour the mixture.

In a warm, static oven (always static with cakes) at 180 ° and check it after 30 minutes, doing the toothpick test. Take it out of the oven and open the circle after 10-15 minutes, let it cool completely before moving it on the tray.

Premise: it is also very good, but since we are greedy, we add the extra touch! Cut the cake in half with a serrated knife and spread our jam, a layer of 3-4 mm.

I didn't want to add icing sugar because I love the cracks it formed, of course you can decorate it as you like, if you really like it you can make a nice cascade of melted dark chocolate, to cover the shell going down to the sides.
