Pumpkin Cakes
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. Preheat the oven to 170 degrees. Grease a baking pan with oil. Melt chocolate and butter in a bowl over a water bath, stirring occasionally, until smooth. In a large bowl, mix together flour, baking powder, cayenne pepper, and salt; set aside. Using an electric mixer, beat sugar, eggs, and vanilla in a bowl for 3 to 5 minutes. Add this mixture to the flour mixture. Divide the batter between two bowls. To one bowl, add the chocolate mixture and stir to combine. To the other bowl, add pumpkin, oil, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Spread half of the chocolate batter into the prepared pan and smooth it out. Top with half of the pumpkin batter. Repeat to create another layer of chocolate and another layer of pumpkin. Smooth the top layer and sprinkle with nuts. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes. Let cool in the pan on a wire rack. Cut into 16 squares and serve. The finished dessert is ready to be served.
