This recipe is from the October\/November 2024 issue<\/a> of Taste of Home<\/a><\/em> magazine, which I get “free” with Kindle Unlimited. I certainly wouldn’t pay for it. I still have some issues from the 1990s, when I was first out on my own–no ads! no hectoring! no fad diets!–and now half of it is ads, and mostly for non-food products. The other half is hit-or-miss; I don’t understand how the monthly “snackcuterie” board of manufactured snacks and candy is considered cooking.

I have been away from home a very long time.

ANYHOO, I flip through every issue and sometimes there’s a recipe that doesn’t use specific manufactured ingredients that are unavailable here, usually cookies or breads. And of course I am always on the lookout for new things for K\u00fcrbisfest<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The downside to marbled cakes is you have to wash twice as many mixing bowls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I pureed Lakota #1<\/a>, I measured and saved enough for these brownies. <\/p>\n\n\n

The recipe lists chopped walnuts as an optional ingredient, to be mixed into the pumpkin batter. Chopped hazelnuts were on sale. Nuts is nuts!<\/p>\n\n\n

The chocolate batter was thicker than I expected. The pumpkin batter had a lot of baking powder, and made huge bubbles right away. It was also crunchy, which is a thing I do not care for when I am licking out the bowl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m not very good at marbling cakes, and the two batters were so different in consistency, I wasn’t sure how it was going to turn out.<\/p>\n\n\n

Served with a porter, because porter pairs well with chocolate. They tasted pretty good. I would make this recipe again. <\/p>\n\n\n

There are still three cups of pumpkin puree in my freezer, and two more Lakota pumpkins in storage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
