Spectacularly Spooky Pumpkin & Dark Chocolate Halloween Cake

Let’s Get Cooking:

1. Steam the peeled and diced pumpkin for about 20 minutes until soft and tender.

2. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). In a large bowl, whisk the eggs vigorously. Add the maple syrup, sifted flour, melted butter, and sunflower oil. Give it a good mix, making sure there are no lumps and you have a smooth batter.

3. Pour half of this mixture into another bowl. Blend the steamed pumpkin until you get a fine puree. Now, combine this puree with the batter in one of the bowls.

4. In a double boiler, melt the dark chocolate. Once it’s melted and smooth, fold it into the batter in the second bowl.

Alrighty, things are getting intense, don’t stop now! Let’s layer it up and bake!
