We cut the pumpkin into parts, select the most ripe piece, remove the seeds, seed bag, cut off the peel.
For sweet pastries I advise you to use nutmeg. There are even cloying sweet vegetables, and this is the best choice.
Cut the pulp into cubes. Then we cook in any way convenient for you: steam, cook in a microwave oven or bake in the oven. Before baking the vegetables in the oven, pour them with olive or vegetable oil.
The pulp of the nutmeg in about 10-15 minutes of heat treatment will be ready.
Put slightly cooled vegetables in a blender, add granulated sugar, break eggs, pour 1/3 teaspoon of fine salt.
Pour the kefir, beat the mixture for a few minutes to dissolve the granulated sugar.
Mix the dry ingredients - pour in a bowl of corn and wheat flour, baking soda, baking powder.
Gradually add liquid ingredients to the dry ingredients, knead the dough. Melt the butter, and when it cools a little, add to the bowl. Knead the dough so that it is lump free.
Cut into cubes or thin strips of dried apricots and dates.
Add dried fruits to dough, mix well. If desired, you can soak the dried fruits in brandy about an hour before baking.

Grease the form with butter, sprinkle with wheat flour, spread the dough.
Heat the oven to a temperature of 175 degrees Celsius, set the mold to an average level, cook the cake for 40 minutes. Ready-made pastries get out of shape, cool on a wire rack.
Mix fatty sour cream with sugar. Generously cover the top with a thick cream cream, sprinkle with finely chopped dried apricots and ground cinnamon.
