How to Make Chocolate Pumpkin Cake With Cinnamon Chocolate Glaze

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 12-cup bundt pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 box (15.25 oz) spice cake mix, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg, 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves, 1 teaspoon baking soda.
  3. Add 1 (15 oz) can pumpkin puree, 1/2 cup water, and 2 large eggs to the dry ingredients.
  4. Beat on low speed for 1 minute, then scrape down the sides of the bowl.
  5. Increase speed to medium and beat for 2 minutes, or until well combined and smooth.
  6. Gently fold in 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips and 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts.
  7. Pour batter into the prepared bundt pan and spread evenly.
  8. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the cake cool in the pan for 20 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. While the cake cools, prepare the glaze: In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup butter, and 1/4 cup milk.
  11. Stir over medium heat until the butter is melted and the mixture comes to a boil.
  12. Boil for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  13. Remove from heat and stir in 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, 1 tablespoon cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth.
  14. Let the glaze sit for a few minutes to slightly thicken.
  15. Pour the glaze over the completely cooled cake.
  16. Dust with powdered sugar, if desired.
