Chocolate Swirl Pumpkin Bundt Cake is all about pumpkin surrounding a large amount of double chocolate within. The doubled chocolate is made up of chocolate chips mixed into the chocolate pumpkin cake batter. The chocolate is swirling within the abundance of pumpkin… all in the making of an incredibly moist Bundt Cake!
My bloggy friends and I are each sharing a special PUMPKIN recipe with you today! It is our sweet friend’s birthday, Julie from This Gal Cooks! She has amazing recipes that include Dairy Free and Gluten Free recipes. But, my recent favorite recipe of Julie’s, is her Four Cheese Pumpkin Pasta Bake!
Let’s begin this birthday celebration for Julie with making this Chocolate Swirl Pumpkin Bundt Cake… it’s a breeze!
Whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, pumpkin pie spice, and cinnamon in a medium mixing bowl. Set aside while you start on the mixing the wet ingredients.
Cream the softened butter and sugar together until fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time. After you’ve scrapped down the sides of the bowl, add and combine the pumpkin puree. Add the sour cream and vanilla. Slowly mix in the bowl of dry ingredients. Stop mixing once you no longer see any more flour.
In a separate bowl, put one and a half cups of the pumpkin batter with the baking cocoa. Stir until combined. Add the chocolate chips to the chocolate batter and stir.
Spray the inside of the bundt pan all around and into all of the crevices. Any design of bundt pan will work.
You’re going to alternate and spread the pumpkin and chocolate batters in 5 different layers. Start with the pumpkin and end with the pumpkin layer. The chocolate with the chocolate chips are all in between.
Bake in a 350 degrees preheated oven for 45 to 55 minutes. Check it after 45 minutes with a toothpick in the center of the highest part of the cake until the toothpick comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool for 10-15 minutes before tipping upside down onto a cake platter (or plate). The cake should be able to just slide right out of the bundt pan… especially since you sprayed the sides very well!
