  • 12 g yeast
  • 250 g carrot
  • 160 ml mild olive oil, butter

  • Step 2. Beat the eggs with the sugar and oil until white. Add 115 g of flour and yeast, sifted, and mix until you get a homogeneous dough. Add the walnuts, carrot, and cinnamon, and mix again.
  • Step 3. Pour the preparation into the mold and bake for 40-45 minutes, until when the cake is punctured in the center with a toothpick, it comes out clean. Let it cool on a wire rack, remove it from the mold, and trim it, rounding it with a knife to give it a pumpkin shape.

  • Step 5. Spread the black and white fondant, cut out figures of bats, ghosts … with cookie cutters, and glue them to the pumpkin. Also, spread the brown one in a strip, roll it up, and put it on the pumpkin, in the center, simulating the tail.
