Chocolate pumpkin cinnamon cake

 

I never cook or bake pumpkin before, but my neighbour is so friendly giving me pumpkin from their own garden. Here I am, a bit confused not knowing what to do with it. Thanks to Google, I find a great recipe to make this cake in combination with the pumpkin.

I have the recipe from Arcawirangun Kitchen . Since this is for the first time I bake using pumpkin, I don't change any ingredients in the recipe. But I measure all ingredients double than given on the recipe, and the mixture fills perfectly to my round baking tin (diamater 20 cm).
