Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.75 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1.5 cups granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup brown sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 1.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
- 0.5 cup vegetable oil
- 0.5 cup whole milk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips to evenly distribute them throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean with a few moist crumbs attached.
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, optionally dust the top of the cake with powdered sugar for garnish before serving.
Slice into squares or rectangles and enjoy your Chocolate Pumpkin Spice Cake!
