Fold up the aluminium foil on the outside wall, fold the edge firmly and press down. Grease the mould. Add the cookie crumb mixture and press it down evenly with your hands to form a base. Keep cold.

Push a fat pan (deep baking tray) into the oven and fill it to a good 2 cm high with boiling water. Finely puree the pumpkin in a tall mixing bowl. Mix the puree, cream cheese, 200 g sour cream, 200 g sugar and 1 packet of vanilla sugar well with the whisks of the mixer. Sift the starch on top and stir in. Stir in eggs. Pour the pumpkin cream cheese mixture onto the biscuit base and smooth it down. Place the mould in the hot water bath in the fat pan. Bake the cake for about 1 hour.

Pour the icing onto the cake approx. 15 minutes before the end of the baking time, smooth it down and bake it to the end. Remove from the oven, remove aluminium foil and let the cake cool down in the tin, preferably overnight.
