Dry Ingredients

  • 2 ¼ cups (280g) all-purpose plain flour spooned and leveled, sifted if needed

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and line an 8-inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
  2. Make the batter: Mix wet ingredients in a bowl, then add and combine dry ingredients. Separate half of the batter into another bowl and mix with cocoa powder and milk.
  3. Assemble the cake: Alternate dollops of pumpkin and chocolate batter in the pan, then bake for 1 hour to 1 hour and 10 minutes.
  4. Make the ganache: Heat cream, add chocolate, let melt, then cool. Drizzle over cooled cake.
  5. Serve: Slice and enjoy!

Notes

  • For best results, use light brown sugar for flavor.
  • Measure flour accurately for a moist cake.
  • Gluten-free option: Use King Arthur’s measure for measure flour.
  • Make your pumpkin spice blend if needed.
  • Alternative for ganache: Use 1/3 cup (75g) dairy-free heavy cream.
