Step-by-step recipe for cake with cottage cheese and pumpkin
First, you need to cut a piece of pumpkin a little larger than the size indicated in the list of ingredients (to get about 300 grams of pulp), peel it and remove seeds. We recommend using a guitar pumpkin to make the pumpkin cheesecake cupcake as it is brighter and sweeter. Then the vegetable is cut into small cubes and baked in the oven until softened. The finished pumpkin should be pureed using a blender.
By the way, it also turns out very tasty, the taste of which you can appreciate by preparing it according to our recipe.
Cottage cheese with sour cream or fermented baked milk is whipped in a blender until a homogeneous mass is formed.
Beaten eggs with sugar are poured into this mixture. Eggs should be beaten until the mass increases in volume and lightens. It is not necessary to separate the whites and yolks.
Pumpkin puree, salt, and vanillin are also added there.
Then flour is poured in, baking powder or soda is added, slaked with boiling water. Everything is carefully brought to homogeneity with a mixer or manually using a whisk or even a fork.
The mixture is poured into a cake pan. If the mold is not silicone, then it should be thoroughly greased with oil and sprinkled with a small amount of flour or breadcrumbs. Bake a bright and healthy cake with cottage cheese and pumpkin in the oven for about an hour. The temperature in the baking cabinet is 180 degrees.
It is important to check the readiness of the baked goods using a wooden stick. To do this, you need to pierce the cake and make sure that the stick is dry and the dough does not stick to it.
When the pumpkin-curd cake is ready, carefully remove the molds and cool on a wire rack. Then you can cut it and invite your family to evaluate your culinary skills.

1. Boil peeled and chopped pumpkin until soft. Check its readiness with a knife - the vegetable is soft, which means it’s ready. The average pumpkin cooking time is 20 minutes. If you need to speed up this process, cut it into smaller pieces. Then the cooking time will be halved. Pound the finished pumpkin with a masher or chop with a blender. If it is too watery, then hold it in a sieve to drain all the liquid.
2. Add cottage cheese and semolina to the pumpkin. It is advisable to use homemade and fresh cottage cheese. But if you are on a diet, you can buy a low-fat product.
3. Add sugar and cocoa powder. The following point should be taken into account here. Cocoa can be sweet or not sweet. Therefore, if you are using an unsweetened product, you may have to add more sugar, honey, condensed milk or jam to the dough. Accordingly, and vice versa - cocoa is sweet, then reduce the amount of sugar.
4. Using a sharp knife, cut the chocolate into small pieces and add it to the dough. If desired, you can use milk or white chocolate instead of dark chocolate.
5. Knead the dough and leave it for at least half an hour so that the semolina disperses. Otherwise, if you immediately start baking cupcakes, the semolina may remain grains.
6. After this time, separate the yolks from the whites. Place the yolks in the dough and mix well, and place the whites in a deep container and add a pinch of salt.
7. Beat the egg whites with a mixer until stiff peaks form and a white airy mass is added to the dough.
8. Mix the dough well. But do it very carefully so that the whites do not settle. Otherwise, the airiness and tenderness of the product will be lost.
9. Fill the portion molds with dough. Silicone molds don’t need to be greased with anything, but be sure to grease iron or ceramic ones with butter so that the cupcakes don’t stick.
10. Heat the oven to 200 degrees and bake the cupcakes for 35-40 minutes. Check their readiness by piercing a splinter - they are dry, which means they are ready.
11. Cool the finished cupcakes, decorate and serve with tea or coffee. If you wish, you can soak them in cognac or coffee, then they will become even tastier.

How to make pumpkin puree
Pumpkin puree can be useful for baking many dishes. It's very simple to make: wash the pumpkin, cut it in half lengthwise and remove all the seeds and fibrous part. Place both pieces, cut side down, on a greased baking sheet.
Bake at 180C for about 45 minutes to 1 hour 15 minutes - depending on the size of the pumpkin - or until it can be easily pierced with a knife.
Remove the squash from the oven and spoon the pulp into a bowl, then blend in a food processor until smooth. If the pumpkin puree turns out to be runny, place it in a sieve and refrigerate overnight to drain off excess liquid.
