Pumpkin Beyond Soup: A Roundup of Sweet Bakes

Latvian news portal TVNET has published a roundup of recipes that make pumpkin the main ingredient in sweet dishes, timed for the autumn season. The idea is straightforward: pumpkin is usually served in soup or alongside savoury food and is used less often in cakes, which the outlet considers a pity.

What can be made

According to the portal, pumpkin is naturally sweet, has an appealing colour and works well in a range of baked goods. The selection mentions cakes, small loaf cakes known in Latvian as kēksi, waffles and even cookies. The recipes themselves are in the TVNET article, and readers can choose whichever appeals to them most.

The season

The authors note that autumn and winter last long enough to try all of the suggested treats. There is no need to settle on a single recipe, since different pumpkin sweets can be made one after another through the season.

The source text gives no specific recipes, ingredient amounts or cooking times, so none are given here. The full list of recipes is available in the original TVNET publication.
