Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Cake
Few cakes are as versatile as this one. The texture is light and extra moist at the same time while the flavor is the perfect blend of pumpkin, spice and everything nice.
Plus it’s covered with a rich cream cheese frosting. Chocolate chip pumpkin cake is a dessert delight—just the showstopper to impress and make it ahead and let the flavors blend even more!
Ingredients and Variations
PUMPKIN What makes this cake so rich and flavorful is the addition of real canned pumpkin and extra eggs. If you’ve got fresh pumpkin you can make your own pumpkin puree to use in this recipe.
VARIATIONS Try subbing milk chips for chocolate chips, or adding chopped dried cranberries and pistachios for a colorful and festive flair! We also like sprinkling chopped walnut or pecans on top of the frosted finished cake!
PRO TIP: Roast nuts in a sauté pan until they are fragrant, and let them cool before adding to a recipe. This makes the nuts extra crunchy and really boosts their flavor!
