Pumpkin Cake Recipe

This chocolate pumpkin bundt cake has something for everyone: a chocolate swirl for chocolate-lovers, cinnamon chips for an extra spicy sweetness and a homey pumpkin spice cake base. Although this pumpkin cake recipe is perfect for Halloween and Thanksgiving, don't wait until the fall to make it. It is too tasty to only have once a year.

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 spice cake mix
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup oil
  • 15 oz. can pumpkin puree
  • 1 tsp. pumpkin pie spice
  • 1-1/2 cups cinnamon chips or chocolate chips
  • 2 oz. unsweetened chocolate
  • .
  • For Orange Glaze:
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 3-4 Tbsp. orange juice

Preparation:

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a bundt cake pan.

  2. With an electric mixer, beat cake mix, eggs, oil, pumpkin puree and pumpkin pie spice together until smooth.

  3. Remove 1 cup of the batter to a smaller bowl.

  4. Stir the cinnamon chips into the remaining cake batter, then pour into the prepared bundt pan.

  5. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate for 30 seconds at 50% power. Stir, and repeat, if necessary, until the chocolate is melted.

  6. Stir chocolate into the reserved 1 cup of cake batter.

  7. Dollop the chocolate batter mixture over the cake batter in the bundt pan. Using a knife, swirl the chocolate batter into the regular pumpkin cake batter.
