Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  2. Grease and flour a fluted tube pan, such as Bundt.

  3. In a food processor, combine flour, ginger, apple pie spice, baking soda, and salt. Pulse until finely ground and set aside.

  4. In a mixing bowl, beat brown sugar and oil together using an electric mixer until creamy.

  5. Add pumpkin, applesauce, and eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition until well combined.

  6. Mix in the flour mixture, followed by the chocolate chips.

  7. Pour the batter into the prepared pan.

  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 60 to 70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

  9. Remove from the oven and let cool for about 10 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely, approximately 90 minutes.

  10. In a bowl, combine confectioners' sugar, maple syrup, and apple pie spice for the glaze.

  11. Whisk until smooth, adding water 1 teaspoon at a time until the desired consistency is reached.

  12. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake. It's better for the glaze to be thicker than you think it should be, as you want a thick glaze.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use canned pumpkin pie filling instead of pure pumpkin puree?

While you can use canned pumpkin pie filling, it may alter the texture and sweetness of the cake. It's best to stick with pure pumpkin puree for optimal results.

Can I substitute the chocolate chips with another type of chocolate?

Absolutely! Feel free to experiment with different types of chocolate, such as dark chocolate or white chocolate, to customize the flavor of your cake.

How long does this cake stay fresh?

When stored in an airtight container at room temperature, this cake can stay fresh for up to 3-4 days. However, it's so delicious that it's unlikely to last that long!

Can I make this cake gluten-free?

Yes, you can! Simply substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend, and you'll have a scrumptious gluten-free pumpkin-chocolate chip bundt cake.

Can I add nuts to the cake batter?

Of course! Chopped walnuts or pecans would be a delightful addition, adding a crunchy texture to the cake. Just make sure to fold them into the batter gently.

Can I freeze this cake?

Absolutely! Once the cake has cooled completely, you can wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and foil before placing it in the freezer. It will stay fresh for up to 3 months.

Can I use this recipe to make cupcakes instead of a bundt cake?

Absolutely! Simply adjust the baking time to around 20-25 minutes for cupcakes. Keep an eye on them and test with a toothpick to ensure they are fully baked.

Can I use this recipe to make a layer cake?

Yes, you can! Simply divide the batter evenly between two 9-inch round cake pans and adjust the baking time to around 25-30 minutes. Layer the cakes with your favorite frosting for a show-stopping dessert.

Can I omit the chocolate chips?

While the chocolate chips add a wonderful touch to this cake, you can omit them if you prefer a plain pumpkin bundt cake. The pumpkin flavor will still shine through beautifully.
