The icon of activism has not only revolutionised politics and cinema, but also home workouts and cooking. A dazzling legacy that can be appreciated on Jane Fonda‘s official website, where you can connect with her achievements, her images and the recipes that have given her energy and accompanied her throughout her life.
Among all her recipes, there is one dessert that we wanted to rescue for its flavour and simplicity: a pumpkin and spice cake that also contains 8 grams of protein. The recipe sticks to the classic ingredients of pumpkin puree, cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves, balanced with adjusted measures of white and brown sugar. It is ultimately healthier because of Fonda’s adaptations in substituting ingredients such as butter for margarine, and incorporating low-fat yoghurt, which helps to create a smooth, moist texture without making the bread too heavy.
The method of preparation is very simple. First, you whisk the dry ingredients in one bowl, whisk the wet ingredients in another and mix them together a little at a time before pouring the batter into a loaf tin. After an hour in the oven at 350°F, you have a golden loaf that fills your kitchen with pumpkin spice.
The full recipe and step-by-step can be found on Jane Fonda‘s website, so you can recreate one of the actress’s most acclaimed desserts at home.
