Loleta you've exceeded! I had tried the pumpkin Brownies but safe cardamom which gives a very particular touch. By the way the spectacular photos. A greeting. Remetouille.
Ayyy how glad you liked. You have to try it because it is death. You'll love safe. A hug
Loleta: how ground is cardamom. Explicne porfa. I have no idea
Hi Lily, to grind the cardamom should open with the tip of a knife sheath. Remove small seeds that are inside and with the help of a mortar crush them until obtaining a powder. It is very easy. A greeting and thank you very much for writing me :)
Buy Loleta, what type of pumpkin for this recipe? The elongated, or the typical of haloween?
Or there is really no difference?
Hi Lily, you can buy the pumpkin that you like. With somebody it will be perfect! A hug and thanks for always being here :)
Loleta, the pumpkin puree how do I do it?
Thanks

I did the cake. Very good. I made it with whole wheat flour. It may be that with wholemeal biscuits come out wetter.? Someone has told me, but it seemed to me that it had to be backward, leaving drier...
Hi Lily, thanks for sharing your experience how well that will work with whole wheat flour! Because the truth is that they should be more or less the same because it is wheat, but I'm me your comment and I will be careful when you try to do it myself. A hug and thanks for being here with me :)

Hello Loleta! I have made this cake and I love it!! Could you give me some idea, apart from the lemon glaze, for an "individual" decoration, that is, cut the cake into small pieces and decorate it in some way? It is to put it, along with more sweets, on a birthday table, and that they go catching.
Thanks a lot!! I love you
Forgive the tardiness but it doesn't give me life lately. You can glaze the pieces individually and put a blueberry on top.
A hug and thanks
