Pumpkin is considered a "superfood" that is good for health, especially for cardiovascular health and weight management. According to Dr. Nguyen Trong Hung (National Institute of Nutrition), pumpkin contains a rich amount of beta-carotene. This is a type of carotenoid that can be converted into vitamin A in the body, helping to boost immunity, improve eyesight, and protect the skin.

Notably, despite being highly nutritious, pumpkin is very low in calories. Each cup of pumpkin contains only about 50 calories and is 94% water, while also providing plenty of fiber. Therefore, pumpkin is an ideal food for those who want to maintain a healthy figure and lose weight.

The antioxidants in pumpkin help prevent cell damage and support a reduced risk of chronic diseases. In particular, this food is a natural source of potassium, calcium, and magnesium, nutrients recommended for preventing and controlling high blood pressure.

Delicious pumpkin cake

As someone who loves cooking, Ms. Dang Thuy ( Hanoi ) frequently cooks delicious meals to treat her family. This skilled Hanoi mother has shared the following recipe for pumpkin cake:

Ingredients for pumpkin pie:

+ 300g peeled and diced pumpkin

+ 400g dry glutinous rice flour

+ 2 tablespoons condensed milk

+ 100g white sugar

+ 150g peeled mung beans.

+ 150g white or black sesame seeds

+ 3 tablespoons shredded coconut

+ 2 tablespoons of fat powder

+ 2 tablespoons of rice flour

How to make pumpkin pie

* Dough: After slicing and washing the pumpkin, steam it until cooked, then mash it thoroughly. Add the condensed milk, glutinous rice flour, creamer, rice flour, and mashed pumpkin to the mixture and mix well until the dough is soft and no longer sticky. Depending on your preference, you can add more sugar or condensed milk. Let the dough rest for about 30 minutes.

* Filling: While waiting for the dough, prepare the filling.

After soaking the mung beans until they swell, rinse them thoroughly, steam them until cooked, then mash them until smooth. Put them in a pan, add 50g of sugar and a little water, and cook until the mixture thickens. Next, add the shredded fresh coconut, mix well, and turn off the heat. To make the filling richer and prevent sticking, you can add a tablespoon of cooking oil. Once the mung bean mixture has cooled, roll it into small balls.

* Shaping the dough

Divide the dough into equal portions. For a filling of 15-20g, use about 40g of dough. Roll each portion into a ball, flatten it with your hand, and place the filling in the center, wrapping it completely. Pour roasted sesame seeds onto a plate, and roll the flattened dough ball through the seeds until they adhere firmly to the surface.

After preparing all the ingredients, proceed to fry the cakes. Pour cooking oil into a pan, heat it up, then carefully place the cakes in and fry until golden brown on all sides. The pumpkin cakes have a chewy crust, a rich pumpkin aroma, and a beautiful orange-yellow color that is extremely appetizing. The mung bean and coconut filling adds a fragrant and nutty flavor, making this pumpkin cake even more appealing.
