Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large eggs
- 150 g brown sugar ¾ cup
- 100 g melted butter ½ cup
- 60 ml milk ¼ cup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 175 g pumpkin puree 1 ⅓ cups
- 125 g all-purpose flour, minus 20g (2 tablespoons) 1 cup
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- 20 g unsweetened cocoa powder 1.5 tablespoons
Instructions
- Preheat: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C), with the heat on the bottom rack only.
- Prep: Grease and flour an 8×4 inch loaf pan.
- Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, brown sugar, melted butter, milk, pumpkin puree, and vanilla extract until combined.
- Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together 105g of flour, baking soda, baking powder, and pumpkin pie spice.
- Combine: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Chocolate Swirl: Remove half of the batter and stir in the cocoa powder.
- Layer: Spoon one-third of the pumpkin batter into the prepared loaf pan. Top with one-third of the chocolate batter. Repeat until all the batter is used, ending with a layer of pumpkin batter.
- Bake: Bake for 10 minutes at 400°F (200°C), then reduce heat to 350°F (180°C) and bake for an additional 30 minutes. If the top is browning too quickly but the cake is still undercooked, reduce the heat to 325°F (160°C) and continue baking.
- Test: Insert a toothpick into the center of the cake. If it comes out clean, the cake is done. Baking times may vary, so check after 40 minutes.
- Cool: Let the cake cool completely in the pan before slicing.
