And last but not least…a delicious recipe for a chocolate pumpkin cake

Recipe from: https://www.goodhousekeeping.com/food-recipes/a5721/chocolate-pumpkin-cake-cupcakes-3922/

The ingredients you'll need:

TSP: Tea Spoon

C: Cup

TBSP: Table Spoon

2 1/2 c. all-purpose flour

2 tbsp. all-purpose flour

1 cup of cocoa

2 tbsp of cocoa

1 tbsp. baking powder

1 1/2 tsp. baking soda

2 1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon

3/4 tsp. fresh-grated nutmeg

3/4 c. buttermilk

1 1/2 c. pumpkin purée

1 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract

stick unsalted butter

1 1/2 c. dark brown sugar

1 1/2 c. granulated sugar

5 large eggs

Orange Cream-Cheese Frosting

STEPS:

1. Prepare cake pans: Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly butter three 8-inch cake pans and fit each bottom with an 8-inch circle of parchment paper. Lightly butter the parchment paper. Set aside.

2. Make the batter: Sift the flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a large bowl and set aside. Combine the buttermilk, pumpkin, and vanilla in a medium bowl and set aside. Beat the butter and sugar together in a large bowl, with an electric mixer set on medium speed, until fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition, until the mixture is smooth and light. Alternately add the flour mixture and buttermilk mixture, blending well after each addition.

3. Bake the cake: Divide the batter among the pans and bake until a wooden skewer inserted into the middle comes out clean -- about 35 minutes. Cool the cakes in the pan for 20 minutes. Remove cakes and cool. (For cupcakes: Heat oven to 375 degrees F. Place cupcake liners in standard cupcake tins and fill each with 1/4 cup of batter. Bake for 22 minutes.)

4. Assemble the cake: Trim each of the layers. Place one layer on a cake plate and top with one third of the frosting. Repeat with the second and third layers. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

We hope you have as much fun as we will!
