Ingredients

  • 1 stick butter
  • 6 oz. semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1 tsp. baking powder
  • ¼ tsp. cayenne pepper
  • ½ tsp. salt
  • cups sugar
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 Tbs. vanilla extract
  • 15 oz. can pure pumpkin puree
  • ¼ cup canola oil
  • 1 tsp. ground cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp. ground nutmeg
  • ½ cup pecan halves
  • non-stick spray

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350° and spray a 9x9 baking pans with non-stick spray.
  • On the stovetop in a non-stick pan, on low setting, melt chocolate chips & margarine in a saucepan. Stir occasionally until smooth.
  • In a large bowl, use a whisk to combine 2 kinds of flour, baking powder, cayenne, & salt and set aside for later.
  • Combine sugar, eggs, & vanilla in your electric mixer’s bowl & beat with the paddle attachment until combined & fluffy, 3-5 minutes.
  • Gradually add in flour mixture and separate batter into halves, in two bowls.
  • Combine chocolate mixture with one half of the batter.
  • Combine pumpkin, oil, cinnamon, & nutmeg with the other half of the batter.
  • Use a quarter of the chocolate batter to create a layer on the bottom of the pan. Make the next layer with a quarter of the pumpkin batter instead. Smooth with a spatula as necessary.
  • Repeat the previous 2 steps again, until you have 4 layers. (top-to-bottom: pumpkin / chocolate / pumpkin / chocolate) Use a butter knife or tiny spatula to delicately create the swirl effect between the two batters.
  • Lay pecan halves, smooth side up, on the surface of the batter in a linear pattern, so each cut square will get at least 1 pecan.
  • Bake until a toothpick comes out clean, about 45 minutes to 1 hour.
  • Cool before serving.

Notes

You can also use two 8x8 pans and freeze one for later!
