Description
A tall, ultra-moist pumpkin spice cake studded with melty chocolate chips and wrapped in silky pumpkin frosting.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup Pumpkin purée
- 1 cup Chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup Butter
- 1 cup Brown sugar
- 2 cups Flour
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 3 Eggs
- 1 tsp Baking powder
- 1 tsp Baking soda
- 1 tsp Cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp Nutmeg
- Pinch of salt (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F and line/grease three 8-inch cake pans for tall layered slices.
- Cream butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until fluffy.
- Beat in eggs one at a time, then mix in pumpkin purée until smooth.
- Whisk dry ingredients separately, then fold into the wet mixture; stir in chocolate chips.
- Divide evenly into pans and bake 30–35 minutes or until a tester comes out clean.
- Cool completely, then stack with pumpkin-spice frosting between each layer.
- Finish with smooth sides, chocolate-chip accents, and a decorative truffle on top.
Notes
- Ensure the cake is completely cool before frosting to prevent melting.
- For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate chips.
