Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 1 cup pumpkin purée
- 0.5 cups vegetable oil
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and pumpkin pie spice.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the pumpkin purée, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the chocolate chips evenly throughout the batter using a spatula.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs attached.
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, dust the top with powdered sugar if desired, and serve. Enjoy your Chocolate Pumpkin Amazingness!
