Ingredients

  • 150 g Seeds, pumpkin

  • 140 g Sugar, white

  • 0.5 teaspoons Baking powder

  • 7 pieces Egg, fresh

  • 3 spoons Oil, olive

  • 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla, extract, imitation

  • pieces Lemon zest, fresh

  • 350 g Sour cream

Steps

  1. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Line a baking tray, sized 40 x 30 cm, with baking paper.

  2. Grind the pumpkin seeds together with half of the sweetener finely in a multiprocessor, then mix in the baking powder.

  3. Separate the egg whites from the yolks. Beat the egg whites into stiff peaks, and whisk the yolks with the other half of the sweetener. Once the mixture doubles in volume, mix in the pumpkin oil, vanilla extract, and lemon zest.

  4. Mix the ground pumpkin seeds into the yolks, then a quarter of the egg whites, and finally the remaining egg whites.

  5. Pour the batter into the baking tray. Spread it evenly over the entire surface and smooth the top.

  6. Bake the sponge cake in the preheated oven for 12 minutes. While still hot, remove it from the tray along with the baking paper. Cover it with a clean piece of baking paper and roll it up. Wrap everything in a damp kitchen towel and let the sponge cake cool completely.

  7. Carefully unroll the cooled roll and evenly spread it with sour cream. Roll it up tightly, wrap it in baking paper, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the cream to set and firm up.

  8. Serve the prepared roll on a platter. Optionally, dust it with powdered sugar and slice it into pieces.
