Recipe by Hervé Cuisine

A moist chocolate cake with pumpkin purée, made without butter. The texture is ultra‑moist thanks to the squash purée, and the shiny chocolate glaze, highlighted with a pinch of fleur de sel, adds a gourmand crunch. Ideal for fans of vegetarian desserts and original pastries.
