Chocolate chip pumpkin spice cake

Last Sunday, I had much needed time with my ladies. We haven't spent time together in so long. We had cream cheese, spinach and feta crescent rolls, Korean beef and chocolate chip pumpkin spice cake. I received the recipe from my lovely friend Erica (@LovelyAnamoly on Twitter).






I will now share with you the recipe for the cake. You should make it!

Ingredients:





1 2/3 cups flour
1 cup sugar
2 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. ginger
1/2 tsp. ground cloves
1/4 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. salt
2 eggs
1 cup canned pumpkin (but I’d use more)
1/2 cup melted butter
1 cup dark chocolate chips

Steps:

Mix all the dry ingredients





Add the eggs and melted butter; mix






Add pumpkin and mix well; I used a little over half the can






Add the chocolate chips and mix; I used over half the bag






Pour into 2 greased loaf pans (or you can use one 9x13 greased pan) and bake at 350 degrees







Because I used more pumpkin, I baked it about 30-35 minutes; bake for 20-25 minutes if just using one cup of pumpkin

You can put cream cheese icing on it, if you like. We though it was so good we didn't use it, but I will have to try it next time.

This is what it looks like when done:













I hope you all make this and enjoy it as much as we did!
