STEEMIT IRON CHEF 2021 ACT 1 ROUND 04 : Pumpkin Choco Chips Cake

The contest is becoming interesting as well as challenging day by day. I can't even imagine how chefs are creative in their recipes. Really it is awesome to see amazing recipes on a main single ingredient from all over the world.

This week's main ingredient is also a versatile vegetable that is prepared in hundreds of ways all over the world. We also prepare various dishes out of pumpkin savoury as well as dessert. Here I am sharing a Pumpkin Choco Cake as my this week's entry to the contest.

Just have a look at my final product before going into detail....
