Chocolate Pumpkin Magic Cake

We’re on a pumpkin chocolate roll and let’s keep it going! Anyone else agree that pumpkin and chocolate are so good together?! While everyone is crazy about the PSL, I think Starbuck’s should offer a pumpkin mocha! I bet it’s on their secret menu.

While I love sharing over the top recipes (like this confetti cake) I realize not everyone (me included!) always has the time to make a 3 layer cake covered in buttercream. Sometimes it’s much easier and more practical to make a 9×13 inch cake, plus this cake pretty much does all the work itself!

It’s a magic cake because the layers magically know what to do while baking in the oven. I like to think of this cake recipe as an equivalent to a crock pot dinner recipe. Something is doing the work and it’s not you and it’s totally magical.

This easy chocolate pumpkin magic cake has one really fun ingredient! If you are a pumpkin lover or a big fan of pumpkin spice, you’ll understand my excitement over Rodelle’s new Pumpkin Spice Extract!! Now I really can add a little bit of pumpkin spice flavor to EVERYTHING!

I’m also excited to share that I’ll be partnering with Rodelle as a brand ambassador! I’ll be using their products in some of my recipes, and I hope you try out their products because you’ll love them!

• In a separate bowl mix together the pumpkin puree, eggs, evaporated milk, pumpkin spice extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and brown sugar until smooth.
• Evenly pour the pumpkin mixture over the chocolate cake mixture.
• Bake the cake for 55-65 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
