Method
Oven Preparation
- Heat the oven to 350°F (177°C) and grease a 10 to 12 cup Bundt pan thoroughly.
Mix Dry Ingredients
- In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, nutmeg, and allspice.
Mix Wet Ingredients
- In a second bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: oil, eggs, brown sugar, granulated sugar, pumpkin puree, and vanilla.
Combine Batter
- Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until fully mixed and smooth. Fold in the semisweet chocolate chips, walnuts, or pecans.
Bake
- Transfer the batter to the prepared pan and bake for 55 to 70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
Cooling
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 2 hours before turning it out onto a rack or plate. Cool completely before adding icing.
Serve and Store
- Once cooled, add your choice of topping, slice, and serve. The cake can also be made ahead and stored.
Notes
Use quality pumpkin puree for best results; avoid pumpkin pie filling. Ensure the pumpkin is at room temperature for easier blending. Do not overbake to maintain moistness.
