Making Harry Potter's Favorite Cake: How to Bake Pumpkin Pie for Halloween
Mix flour, baking powder, cane sugar and salt in a bowl, then add margarine, egg yolk and lemon juice.
Mix with the mixer until the shortcrust pastry for the pumpkin pie is crumbly.
After that, press the dough together with your hands.
Take the shortcrust pastry out of the bowl and knead it into a smooth dough on a work surface that you have dusted with a little flour.
Wrap the dough in cling film and let it rest in the fridge for half an hour.
For the pumpkin pie topping, use a stand mixer to mix together the pumpkin puree, cane sugar, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, eggs, salt and cream cheese.
Take the shortcrust pastry for the pumpkin pie out of the fridge and place it on a greased springform pan with a high rim.
Prick the base of the dough several times with a fork and then fill the topping onto the cake batter.
Bake the pumpkin pie for about an hour at 175 degrees Celsius top/bottom heat (convection oven 160 degrees Celsius).
At the end of the baking time, remove from the oven and let stand 10 minutes before removing from the mold to cool.
Before serving Harry Potter's favorite pumpkin pie for Halloween, you can dust the pumpkin pie crust with some powdered sugar if you like.
