Notes
- The pumpkin cake batter will be very thick, but it bakes together perfectly. The pumpkin cake recipe that I used said to bake the cake for 28 minutes, but I found that 24 was perfect. You do not want to over bake the cake. Start checking around 22-23 minutes and continue testing with a toothpick. The pumpkin brownie recipe I used said to bake for 25-30 minutes, but 23 minutes worked for me. Start checking your brownies with a toothpick at 20 minutes and continue checking until the toothpick comes out clean.
