Equipment

  • 2 Mixing bowl
  • 1 Electric mixer
  • 1 9-inch springform cake pan
  • 1 Baking sheet
  • 1 Rubber spatula
  • 1 Cooling rack
  • 1 Saucepan
  • 1 Parchment paper
  • 1 Oven mitt

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/2 cup white chocolate chips

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper.
  • In a mixing bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
  • In another bowl, cream the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy using an electric mixer.
  • Add eggs one at a time to the butter mixture, beating well after each addition, then mix in the vanilla extract.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk, and mix until just combined.
  • In a separate bowl, mix pumpkin puree, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  • Pour half of the cake batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  • Spoon the pumpkin mixture over the batter and swirl it gently with a spatula.
  • Pour the remaining cake batter over the pumpkin swirl and spread evenly.
  • Sprinkle white chocolate chips on top of the batter.
  • Bake in preheated oven for 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Notes

For best results, ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before mixing to achieve a smooth batter. Additionally, when swirling the pumpkin mixture, be careful not to overmix, as this will help maintain the distinct swirl pattern and enhance the visual appeal of the cake.
