Tips for preparing Pumpkin Marquesitas

When I started making the recipe, I thought it was very strange that there wasn't any liquid. There wasn't much flour either, but it did include a lot of ground almonds. I made it as is, but it's true that the batter was a bit thick. It's possible that I could have added a little more pumpkin, but for me it was too late. So I added about three tablespoons of natural yogurt, and it worked well.
I also substituted regular sugar for brown sugar because I like the flavor it adds to cakes. I used a 20x20 cm pan, and 25 minutes of baking time was just right.
