04 - 33 g unsweetened cocoa powder

→ Wet Ingredients

05 - 113 g unsalted butter, melted
06 - 200 g granulated sugar
07 - 2 large eggs

09 - 120 g canned pumpkin purée

12 - Green frosting for piping vines
13 - Mini pumpkin candies
14 - Crumbled pecans (optional)
15 - Mini marshmallows (optional)

# Step-by-Step Instructions:

01 - Preheat oven to 175°C. Line an 20 cm x 20 cm baking dish with parchment paper, allowing an overhang for easy removal.
02 - In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and set aside.
03 - In a separate large bowl, whisk the melted butter and sugar until smooth. Incorporate the eggs one by one, then stir in vanilla extract.
04 - Evenly split the butter mixture into two bowls. To one bowl, fold in the cocoa powder and chocolate chips. To the other, mix in pumpkin purée and pumpkin pie spice.
05 - Spread the chocolate mixture evenly onto the base of the prepared pan. Carefully layer the pumpkin mixture on top.
06 - Bake for 25–30 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the centre yields a few moist crumbs. Allow to cool completely before removing from the pan.
07 - Cut into squares. Pipe green frosting vines and arrange mini pumpkin candies on top. Add crumbled pecans or mini marshmallows if desired.

# Handy Cooking Tips:

01 - Ensure each ingredient is at room temperature for a smooth batter.
02 - Cool completely before decorating to avoid melting the frosting.
