This delicious tasting Chocolate Cake Made with Pumpkin recipe also has applesauce in it. This cake is perfect for fall or holiday enjoyment especially.
All Purpose Flour– 2 ½ cups. I have not tried whole wheat flour in this recipe.
Baking Soda– 2 teaspoons.
Baking Powder– 1 teaspoon.
Salt– ½ teaspoon.
Unsweetened Cocoa Powder – ½ cup.
Granulated Sugar– 1 ½ cups. I mentioned above that you can use a sugar alternative instead. Please use a granular sugar alternative that measures 1:1 with sugar. Alsoadd an extra teaspoon of milk and lower the oven temperature to 325.
Pumpkin Pie Spice– 1 teaspoon.
Pumpkin Puree– 1 can. 15 ounce can of the puree which you can find here.
Eggs- 3
Oil- ½ cup. Suitable oil choices include sunflowercanola, peanut, avocado, or coconut oil.
Unsweetened Apple Sauce– ½ cup. You can make your own unsweetened apple sauce using this recipe.
Milk- 1 cup. Keep in mind that the fattier the milkthe more moist your cake will be. Also, you can use a heavy cream instead.
In a medium mixing bowl use a whisk or fork to blend together the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt.
Next, in another mixing bowl use a fork or whisk to blend together the unsweetened cocoa, sugar, and pumpkin spice.
Now, in a large mixing bowl, combine together the contents from the first bowl (flour etc) with the contents from the second bowl (unsweetened cocoa etc).
Add the eggs one at a time, stirring gently between additions and then the other ingredients. Mix until blended, avoiding over mixing for best results.
Bake your cake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
