Preheat oven to 350, and line an 8x8 baking dish with parchment paper.
Mix together melted butter, sugars, and vanilla until well beaten. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well between each addition. Add the baking powder and salt and mix well again. Add the flour and mix until just combined.
3/4 cup unsalted butter, 1 cup brown sugar, 2 teaspoons vanilla, 3 eggs, 1/2 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 3/4 cup flour, 1/2 cup granulated sugar

Add the cinnamon, nutmeg, and pumpkin puree to the bowl with 2/3 of the batter and mix until just combined. Take some batter from bowl 1 and add it to bowl 2 until the batter is evenly split between the bowls.
3/4 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg, 1 cup pumpkin puree
