  • 266 grams light brown sugar, lightly packed
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 250 grams pumpkin puree

  7. Add in the dry ingredients and mix just until the last streak of flour is incorporated. 
  8. Bake for about 60 minutes. Press on the center (tallest part) and it should spring back if it's baked. You can also insert a knife through the tallest section and it should come out with a few moist crumbs. If you get gummy batter, allow another 5-10 minutes to bake.
  9. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for at least 30-60 minutes before serving.
  10. Once it's cooled completely, you can dust it with powdered sugar.
