Steps
Preheat the oven to 340°F and prepare the loaf pan lined with parchment paper.
Prepare all the ingredients, bowls, and electric beaters. Let’s start!
Start with the pumpkin, once cleaned, cut it into pieces and place it in a blender with the oil, blend until you have a cream. Set aside.
Break the eggs into the bowl, add the sugar and beat with the electric beaters until you get a light and fluffy mixture. Add the pumpkin cream.
Sift the dry ingredients, rice flour, potato starch, and cornstarch with the baking powder and salt, incorporate into the batter, work with the beaters to obtain a smooth and homogeneous mixture.
Chop the dark chocolate and melt it in the microwave or a bain-marie. Let it cool.
Meanwhile, pour about half the batter into the second bowl, add the melted chocolate gradually while beating with the beaters.
Pour the batters into the pan alternating a spoonful of the plain one with a spoonful of the chocolate one.
Bake at 340°F static for about 55/60 minutes. Remember that every oven is different, always do the toothpick test to check for doneness; if it comes out dry, it is ready!
Let it cool completely before removing it from the pan. If desired, dust with powdered sugar.
