It’s time for some cake. A summer cake. I made this cake before we started towards the ocean. It was a little sweet something only for my better half & me when having our after dinner espresso.

I started w/ a big Hokkaido pumpkin which I baked in the oven – just adding some olive oil & salt & pepper. Afterwards I had a bowl filled w/ smooth pumpkin bits which could be mashed easily by help of a fork. My plan was … creating a sweet yeast braid w/ pumpkin mash mixed into the dough.
