Squash and spice cake {sans gluten}

Gâteau à la courge

Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way…. !!! Ne me remerciez pas pour ce super chant de Noël que vous avez désormais en tête, tout ça pour se mettre dans l’ambiance car vu les températures qu’il fait en ce moment, je crois bien que la neige ne sera pas de la partie cette année !!! Bon mais Noël ça n’est pas que le froid et la neige, c’est aussi le chocolat chaud avec une bonne part de gâteau, non ?! Alors pour changer de la buche, on rompt avec la tradition et on prépare un magnifique pumpkin cake, soit un gâteau à la courge en français (mais ça vous l’aviez devinez, you are too strong !). It was personally the first time I tried squash for dessert and I really love it.. It's soft, spicy just right, fresh and crunchy thanks to the icing and nougatine… everything you need for a good Christmas dessert and what's more, it's gluten-free (thanks WHO, thank you Tata Emilie !!!). And then the discovery of the day (oui, yes I am very proud of myself but I have to from time to time, non ?!), it’s pumpkin seed nougatine, this thing is just to die for !

So I leave you with this cake and wish you all a very happy holiday and a wonderful Christmas..
