Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • ½ cup canola or vegetable oil
  • 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon or to taste
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt or to taste
  • ¾ to 1 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips See NOTE below

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 350F. Line an 8×8-inch pan with aluminum foil for easier cleanup and spray with cooking spray; set aside.
  2. To a large bowl, add the eggs, sugar, pumpkin, oil, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, vanilla, and whisk to combine.
  3. Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and stir until just combined, don’t overmix.
  4. Add the chocolate chips and stir to combine.
  5. Turn batter out into prepared pan, smoothing the top lightly with a spatula. Bake for about 35 to 40 minutes (I baked 36 minutes) or until center is set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs, no batter.
  6. Allow cake to cool in the pan for at least 1 hour before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Chocolate chips: I highly recommend MINI chocolate chips for this recipe rather than regular chocolate chips. They disperse more evenly and do not sink to the bottom like regular chips are prone to doing.
  • To store: Cake will keep airtight at room temp for up to 5 days and in the freezer for up to 4 months.
  • Adapted from Pumpkin Spice Cake With Cream Cheese Frosting.
