How to Make Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened butter and 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 2 large eggs, one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon ground cloves, ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg, and 1 teaspoon salt.
  5. In another bowl, combine 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree, ¾ cup buttermilk, and the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  6. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the creamed butter mixture, mixing until just blended. Be careful not to overmix.
  7. Stir in 2 cups all-purpose flour and 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips.
  8. Fold in ¾ cup chopped pecans (optional).
  9. Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Let cool completely before frosting (optional). Enjoy!
