Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup brown sugar, packed
- 0.5 cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vegetable oil. Beat with a mixer on medium speed until smooth and well blended.
Add the eggs, one at a time, to the wet ingredients, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Gently fold in the chocolate chips with a spatula or spoon until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve your Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Cake as is, or with a dollop of whipped cream or a dusting of powdered sugar for an extra treat!
