Ingredients
Scale
1 cup pumpkin puree
1/2 cup espresso or strong coffee
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour

Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×9 inch baking pan.
In a large bowl, mix together the pumpkin puree, espresso, granulated sugar, brown sugar, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
In another bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
