Fall time is my favorite time!
Don’t get me wrong, summer is great and is really a blessing of a season. Autumn is just so cozy! Images of cuddling up near a fire place, crisp air as you go on walks, and really just the overall feeling of slowing down in the day to day activities appeals to me the most.
When the nostalgic smells from the kitchen emerge and more and more time is spent together as a family, it creates an atmosphere that just can’t be beat for this quality time gal!
Recently I was gifted some lovely pumpkins from a sweet friend. It got me thinking how I could incorporate my favorite autumn squash into some old familiar dishes. My family loves, no, craves coffee cake and I make it on occasion for them.
I was about to fulfill a request when the thought crossed my mind that I wanted to make pumpkin spice cake with those pumpkins.
Well, we couldn’t just have two cakes around the house, so I decided to make this combination of the two: einkorn pumpkin coffee cake!
It turned out better than I could tell you in words! So if you are a pumpkin fan and also love coffee cake, please don’t rob yourself of this tasty treat and make it as soon as possible!
Is einkorn flour healthier?
YES! Einkorn is such a wonderful ancient grain. It is nutrient dense and very filling because it contains more protein. I love the flavor of it and how it doesn’t upset my family’s tummies. I have written an entire article about the benefits of using einkorn and why it is superior to other grains, if you’d like to check it out!
How is working with einkorn different than working with modern wheat?
Einkorn can be tricky in some recipes, the flour to liquid ratios can be a bit challenging at times. While some recipes work with a 1:1 replacement, others take some tweaking and shifting to get the right outcome.
When working with einkorn, it is best to weigh the einkorn flour. This is why all my einkorn recipes show measurements in grams. This also eliminates more dirty dishes since you’ll be pouring them directly into your mixing bowl – who wouldn’t appreciate that!
