Method

  1. 1

    Prepare. Heat the oven to 180 °C (160 °C fan) and line the tin.

  2. 2

    Pumpkin. Microwave the cream cheese for 20-30 s to soften, then whisk in the pumpkin, sugar, flour and spices until smooth.

  3. 3

    Batter. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt. Melt the chocolate with the oil, stir in the sugar, then the eggs, milk and vanilla, and fold in the dry mix.

  4. 4

    Marble. Spread half the chocolate batter in the tin, spoon over half the pumpkin, then repeat. Swirl the two together with the tip of a knife.

  5. 5

    Bake. Bake 35-40 min, until a skewer in a chocolate area comes out with only a few moist crumbs.

  6. 6

    Cool. Cool in the tin, then chill 1 h before cutting into 16. Keep refrigerated.
