Preparation steps

1.

For the cakes: Grease a savarin cake pan with butter and sprinkle with breadcrumbs. Beat the butter and eggs until foamy. Stir in the sugar and vanilla sugar. Add the flour and baking powder. Divide the dough in half, stir the cocoa powder in one half. Dice the pumpkin flesh and simmer with some water for 10 minutes. Puree and strain through a sieve and mix it into the second half of the dough.

2.

Bake each cake in the oven at 180°C (approximately 350°F) for one hour. Loosen from the mold and let cool. Beat the whipped cream. Place the pumpkin cake on a large plate with the rounded side down. Spread cream on the top and cover with the chocolate cake with the rounded side up. Allow to cool.

For the butter cream, beat the butter and vegetable fat until fluffy. Beat in the sugar and eggs alternately into the cream. Slowly add the espresso until the butter cream turns an orangish color. Apply a thick coat of butter cream to the entire assembled cake.

For decorating: Put the candied lime slices around the hole in the center to create the stem. Form the eyes and nose with the chocolate pieces. Outline the mouth with the licorice lace and use the licorice pieces to create the teeth. Refrigerate two hours before serving.
