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!

- 1 cup evaporated milk
- 1 tsp Rodelle Pumpkin Spice Extract
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- ¼ tsp nutmeg
- ¼ tsp cloves

Instructions
- Preheat the oven 350º F. Lightly grease a 9×13 inch pan.

- 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.

I have never seen that pumpkin spice extract but I need it now! And chocolate and pumpkin may be the new chocolate and peanut butter ;)
Chocolate and pumpkin is like the seasonal version of chocolate & PB :)
I have to agree, as much as I love 3-layer covered cakes, it takes time and effort. I need to jump on the cake-sheet bandwagon because this cake of yours sounds delicious!
They are so easy!!
This looks INSANE!!!
Thanks friend!!
I bet a pumpkin mocha would be SO good, almost as good as this amazing cake!!

I’m so looking forward to making Stollen for the very first time, it’s something I’ve wanted to make for awhile now and finally have the courage to try!
I don’t even know what that is!

That’s a good way to describe it, a pumpkin ripple!
Keep the pumpkin and chocolate recipes coming, Beth. They truly are a wonderful combination. This one looks and sounds perfect and I love that it’s easy too – Win!

It sounds amazing!
This looks delicious! I would love to bake some pumpkin chocolate chip muffins!
