Ingredients

• 200 grams plain flour
• 100 grams brown sugar
• 120 grams unsalted butter
• 400 grams canned pumpkin puree
• 2 large eggs
• 150 grams granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 0.5 teaspoon ground ginger
• 0.25 teaspoon ground cloves
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a 9x13 inch baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, combine the plain flour and brown sugar.

Step 3

Cut in the unsalted butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Press the mixture evenly into the prepared baking pan to form the base.

Step 4

Bake the base in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until lightly golden. Remove it from the oven and set aside to cool slightly.

Step 5

In a large bowl, whisk together the canned pumpkin puree, eggs, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground ginger, ground cloves, salt, baking powder, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.

Step 6

Pour the pumpkin mixture over the baked base and spread it evenly.

Step 7

Return to the oven and bake for an additional 35 minutes, or until the filling is set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the pumpkin slice from the oven and allow it to cool completely in the pan before slicing.

Step 9

Once cool, slice into 12 squares. Serve as is, or with a dollop of whipped cream on top.
