Preheat oven to 175 °C.

Melt the chocolate over a pan of hot water and set aside to cool.
Chop the pumpkin and mix into the butter mixture. Fold in the melted chocolate.
Mix flour, baking powder and cinnamon together and fold into the mixture.

Bake in the lower section of the oven for about 45 minutes. Remove from the oven and leave to cool for about 10 minutes. Turn the cake out onto a rack and leave to cool again. Cover with a tea towel.
