Zwei Stückchen Schoko-Kürbis-Brownies übereinander werden mit einem Löffel zerteilt.

Pumpkins are synonymous with autumn like no other vegetable. They are not only suitable for savoury dishes, but also work very well as an ingredient in baking, e.g. for cakes. In our recipe, we combine pumpkin with a moist chocolate brownie. The cake consists of two layers that contrast beautifully in colour. For extra chocolatey indulgence, sprinkle some additional chocolate pieces on top before baking.
