Pumpkin and Chocolate Oh My!

I have been obsessed with all things pumpkin lately-funny because I never was a HUGE fan before but now I love it!  Still not a fan of pumpkin pie but coffee, bread, baby food-I am in.  Pumpkin bread is super yummy.  You know what else is super yummy?  Chocolate!  So I whipped up some pumpkin bread batter and tossed in some chocolate chips and I got a to die for Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cake.  Now, I can't take ALL the credit for this recipe.  See my husband randomly talks about this cake he had once called Pumpkin Dot Cake.  I Googled it and it pretty much is pumpkin bread with chocolate chips.  Some of the recipes were a bit different than my pumpkin bread recipe so I decided to take a chance and just add the chocolate chips to my standard recipe.  Holy cow was it yummy!!!  So without further ado let me introduce you to my new favorite fall recipe:



Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cake

What you will need:
1 1/2 c. oil
4 eggs
2 tsp. baking soda
2 c. pumpkin
2 c. sugar
2 c. flour
3 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. salt
2 tsp. baking powder
2 tsp. vanilla
1/2 c. (I tossed in a bit more) chocolate chips

Mix all ingredients together in a large bowl (except the chocolate chips).


Stir in chips.


Bake in 2 loaf pans or 1 tube/bundt pan greased and floured.

 
Bake for 1 1/2 hours at 300 degrees. 


Let cool and sprinkle confectioners sugar on top to garnish. 


So yummy!!!  It's even better the next day-gotta love that!


Enjoy!!
