Total Time: 1 hour 15 minutes
When pumpkin is in season in autumn, it doesn't always have to be just soup. This juicy pumpkin chocolate cake is the perfect combination of pumpkin, spice, and chocolatey sweetness. The pumpkin puree makes the dough especially fluffy and moist, while the dark chocolate provides the intense flavor.
