How to Make Chocolate Pumpkin Cake with Caramel Pecan Topping

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger.

In another bowl, mix the pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined.

Fold in the chocolate chips gently into the batter.

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Serve as is or frost with your favorite chocolate frosting.
