Number Of Ingredients 20

12 tablespoons/170 grams (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, more for the pan
1/2 cup/55 grams pecans
1/2 cup unsweetened pumpkin purée
1 large egg
2 1/4 cups/454 grams dark brown sugar
1 tablespoon bourbon
1 teaspoon/5 grams baking powder
1 teaspoon/3 grams ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon/3 grams ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon/1 gram grated nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon/3 grams fine sea salt
2 cups/250 grams all-purpose flour
8 tablespoons/113 grams (1 stick) unsalted butter, cubed
3 ounces/85 grams bittersweet chocolate (60 to 70 percent)
1/4 cup/30 grams unsweetened cocoa powder
1 cup/200 grams granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon/1 gram fine sea salt
1/4 cup/30 grams all-purpose flour

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Line a 9-x-13-inch baking pan with parchment paper and butter the paper.
  • Spread pecans out on a rimmed baking sheet; toast until fragrant and lightly colored, 7 to 10 minutes. Cool and coarsely chop.
  • Make the pumpkin batter: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 12 tablespoons/170 grams butter. Cook until the foam completely subsides and butter turns a deep nut brown, about 5 minutes. Pour browned butter into the bowl of an electric mixer and let cool, about 10 minutes.
  • Beat the pumpkin purée, egg, brown sugar and bourbon into the cooled browned butter. Scrape down the bowl and beat in baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and salt.
  • Using a wooden spoon, mix in flour, then toasted pecans. Set aside.
  • Make the chocolate batter: In a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water, melt together 8 tablespoons/113 grams butter and the bittersweet chocolate, stirring with a heatproof spatula until smooth. Whisk in cocoa powder and sugar. Whisk in the eggs one at a time, then whisk in vanilla and salt. Using a spatula, fold in flour.
  • Dollop pumpkin and chocolate batter into the prepared pan, alternating the dollops. Drag the tip of a knife in a zigzag pattern all over the pan to swirl the batters together.
  • Bake until firm to the touch, 25 to 35 minutes. Transfer pan to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
