Delicious Pumpkin Chocolate Cake Recipe

Ingredients

• 2.67 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.67 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1.5 tablespoons pumpkin pie spice
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 2 cups white sugar
• 0.75 cup butter
• 3 eggs, beaten
• 0.33 cup applesauce
• 0.5 cup heavy cream
• 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 0.5 cup butter
• 0.33 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup confectioners' sugar

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a 9-inch Bundt pan by greasing it lightly.
2. In a medium bowl, combine flour, cocoa powder, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, and baking soda. In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat together 2 cups of sugar, ¾ cup of butter, eggs, and applesauce until smooth. Add ½ cup of heavy cream and pumpkin, then gradually stir in the flour mixture until well combined. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared Bundt pan.
3. Bake in the preheated oven for about 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let it cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes, then carefully loosen the edges with a knife. Invert the cake onto a serving plate.
4. While the cake cools, prepare the frosting by bringing brown sugar, ½ cup of butter, and ⅓ cup of heavy cream to a boil in a medium saucepan. Stir continuously until smooth and the sugar is fully dissolved. Remove from heat and whisk in confectioner's sugar until smooth. Immediately drizzle the warm frosting over the cake.
