A pepita, which gets its name from the Spanish word for "little seed of squash" is harvested from specific hulless pumpkin variety, known as Styrian pumpkin, which was developed in the province of Styria in Austria. Any other variety of pumpkin produces a hulled seed that’s slightly fibrous and less tender. Both pumpkin seeds and pepitas are packed with a ton of nutrients. Pepitas are a good source of healthy fats and make for a tasty snack.
You can always substitute pepitas for pumpkin seeds, but it’s best to only substitute pumpkin seeds for recipes that call for pepitas as a garnish. So you wouldn’t want to use regular pumpkin seeds to make this cake or pepita pesto recipe, but when it comes to using them as a garnish for the soup Feel free to swap away.

  • 4 Large eggs, at room-temperature
  • 200 g Powdered sugar
  • 125 ml Pumpkin seed oil
  • 125 ml Sparkling water
  • A pinch of salt
  • 230 g White spelt flour
  • 60 g Buckwheat flour
  • 8 g Baking powder
  • 100 g Pepitas, toasted
  1. Thoroughly grease a standard-size bundt cake pan with lard or butter. Then take a spoonful of flour and lightly dust the greased pan. Shake off any excess flour. Set aside. Preheat the oven to 180C/350F.
  2. Beat egg yolks and powdered sugar in a mixing bowl until light and fluffy. Add in pumpkin seed oil, sparkling water and salt. Continue to whip until combined.
  3. Whisk the spelt, buckwhweat, baking powder and pepitas together. Add the mixture into the egg yolk mixture. Fold to combine.
  4. Beat the egg white until the glossy stiff peaks form. Add the egg whites to the batter and fold to combine. Spread the batter to the prepared pan and smooth the surface.
  5. Bake in the middle of the hot oven for about 50-60 minutes until a skewer inserted into centre comes out clean.
  6. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes and turn out on a wire rack to cool completely. Dust with powdered sugar if desired.

    Very festive and very healthy. What kind of flavour does it have, since I've noticed there is no vanilla nor any other flavour enhancer in it.

    @Angie's RecipesWe do not have it here, but I do use pumpkin seeds and also pumpkin seed flour on a daily basis as it is very good for us men. I am currently using flax seed oil for my salads, but I will replace it soon with something else as I did not like it much.

    I didn't know that about pepitas. I just thought they were another name for pumpkin seeds. I love your site Angie, I always come away with some gem. Your bundt looks super pretty too.

    I hope you have a Happy Christmas.

    This sounds like something completely different and new to me, it's intriguing!

    I am so pleased that you explained about pepita, although I still needed to double check what a bundt cake was (shows you how often I DON'T bake!)

    What kind of texture do you get with this cake? only it looks as though it is quite firm and dry!

    Thanks for sharing and Happy Holidays :)

    @Yvonne @ Fiction Books Reviews It has a very soft and tender texture thanks to the use of eggs, sugar and pepita oil, firmer than foam cakes though. You too have a wonderful holiday, Yvonne!

    Looks very healthy Dear Angie! Pumpkin seeds are very common here but i am not sure where i find pumpkin seeds oil here. Can we use other oil instead of it. I am sure this cake must be so delicious.

    Did not know pepitas is from a specific variety of pumpkin, now I know. Over here, think these words pepitas and pumpkin seeds are used interchangeably to mean the same thing. Love both anyway.

    Merry Christmas, happy holidays to you and your family :)
