Peel the pumpkin, cut into small cubes and bake in the oven until soft. Grind the pumpkin with a fork or blender into a smooth puree and chill.

Moisten a sheet of parchment for baking with water and place it in a 30x20 cm form (in the photo, a 20x22 cm form).

Put the dough in a parchment pan and gently level its surface. If you are not sure about the quality of the parchment you are using, then it will not be superfluous to pre-grease it with a thin layer of oil.
Pumpkin pie (Coca de calabaza)
Mix 2 tbsp. l. sugar with 1 tablespoon of ground cinnamon and sprinkle liberally over the entire surface. You can adjust the amount of sugar and cinnamon in accordance with your own preferences, 1/3 tbsp was enough for me. l. cinnamon for a given amount of sugar and dough. There are also those who prefer a very rich layer of sugar, while reducing the amount of sugar in the dough, as they like the very dense crust of the cake that forms during baking.

Bake the pie in an oven preheated to 180 C, with convection for 20-25 minutes, without convection - 40 minutes, until fully cooked.

Angela, Thank you. Simply, the Orange Sun pumpkin has a rich and vibrant color.
No, I didn't weigh the finished puree, I didn't think. In the photo of step 1, a plate with a volume of 180-200 ml is not completely filled with mashed potatoes. I also cooked a pie from frozen pumpkin, by weight (completely peeled and not defrosted) - about 200 g.

Thanks, but compared to Japanese pumpkin biscuit, just the usual structure of the pie, closer to the well-known charlotte with apples.

Pumpkin pie (Coca de calabaza)

The pie is delicious and tender like a biscuit. From 250 gr. raw pumpkin I got 225 gr. mashed potatoes.The pumpkin is pale, so the pie is not as yellow as yours. Cinnamon took 1/2 tbsp. l.

Tatyana, thank you for your feedback! Nice pie! And an excellent photo, and the aroma blows from the monitor that it seems and the taste is betrayed at a distance.

In the comments to the recipes for this cake, you can find the opinion of those who prefer just such a light version, for which they specially use a pumpkin with a soft pulp, they say, this is how the finished cake looks more tender and light.
Gala
Ilona, I brought you a report

Galina, thank you for your feedback! Nice pie and such a tasty morsel, wonderful photo.
M @ rtochka
Ilona, and it is possible to smear it with some cream? Cheese, maybe?
I lick my lips on him, but my men love everything wet, cream
Corsica
Daria, the pie is quite self-sufficient in taste and texture, pumpkin puree gives a certain juiciness to the biscuit crumbs. Alternatively, you could add any syrup to taste (like coffee) or cream when serving. In my opinion, the charm of this cake is in its simplicity and unpretentiousness, and I would not add a layer of cream, but it all depends on personal taste. Daria, try it with cream, then share your impressions.
M @ rtochka
What else to do in quarantine if not bake pies!
Pumpkin pie (Coca de calabaza)
There were 260 g of pumpkin puree, 80 g of sugar in the dough, a lot of cinnamon on top! I bought a real one, ground it. The smell is not harsh, some kind of subtle, tasteful
First I ate a piece of hot food - not impressed. But when it cooled down ... Mmm ... With ice cream, or with butter (not me! My son ate that way) it is very delicious. Mentally.
Thanks for the sunny recipe!
Corsica
Daria, thank you for your feedback and for trusting the recipe!
Nice pie! I am glad that your son also liked the cake.
Yes, while the cake is hot, not all flavor notes are harmonious, cinnamon argues with pumpkin and drowns out the biscuit flavor and aroma. Perhaps, the slightly increased amount of pumpkin also affected, but the main thing is that in general the pie did not disappoint.
