This incredibly moist homemade Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bundt Cake has just the right amount of sweet by combining decadent cake with a chocolate chunk middle.
I have been on such a pumpkin kick lately! I’ve roasted two pretty good sized pumpkins already and have made all sorts of recipes. Everything from sweet to savory, breakfast to dinner to dessert. My house has been saturated with pumpkin recipes for weeks, and no one is complaining! I absolutely love bundt cakes for no reason other than they make me happy. I was totally intending on making a chocolate ganache for the top of this cake, but it turned out so moist I decided not to.
I used my cute little pink silicone bundt pan for this recipe. I find that its flexible material makes it super easy to get the cake out when its done cooking. Now, this recipe has a ton of butter. It makes the final cake quite heavy, but the end result is so worth it because of how moist it is.
All of that butter is what give it that beautiful browned top. YUM!
I’m actually categorizing this recipe as both a dessert and breakfast because I had it for both! Morning or night, it goes perfectly with a hot cup of coffee or a cold glass of milk.
I brought some of this cake into work and, needless to say, the people who sit by me sort of love me. One of my favorite taste testers, Scott, commented on how he really liked the middle chocolate later and asked what it was. When I told him it was just chocolate chips that I didn’t fully mix in, he was pleasantly surprised. The cake really isn’t super sweet, which is why combining it with the chocolate made it heavenly!
