Ingredients
For the cake, you will need:
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
- 4 large eggs
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 4 ounces semisweet chocolate, melted
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and lightly grease two 9-inch round cake pans. Set aside.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. Set aside.
3. In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the eggs and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the oil, vanilla, and pumpkin puree and beat until combined.
4. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and beat until just combined. Add the melted chocolate and beat until combined. Fold in the walnuts, if using.
5. Divide the batter between the prepared pans and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Serving
Once the cakes have cooled completely, you can serve them as-is or frost them with your favorite frosting. To make a delicious chocolate frosting, simply melt 8 ounces of semisweet chocolate, stir in 1/4 cup of butter and 1/4 cup of heavy cream, and beat until smooth. Spread the frosting over the cake, slice, and serve.
