Our Chocolate Pumpkin Cake is so incredible. An easy, one-bowl fall recipe using a chocolate cake mix and pumpkin that everyone loves!

Hey guys hey! It’s Mandy from Mandy’s Recipe Box here. How’s your fall so far? Are you having an actual fall? We usually go from summer to about a week or two of fall and then BOOM. Winter. The temperature feels that way anyway. It’s time for all the cozy comfy food, like Pumpkin Swirl Brownies, Pumpkin Dump Cake or this Chocolate Pumpkin Cake.

The minute I get home it’s warm and cozy pajamas on. I love fall and all the smells and food that go with it. From here until December only gets better that way. I live for holiday food you guys. It’s my purpose in life.

Pumpkin Chocolate Cake

Ingredients:

  • Chocolate Cake Mix
  • Pumpkin Purée
  • Eggs
  • Olive Oil
  • Pumpkin Spice
  • Cream Cheese Frosting

Directions:

Add all ingredients to a large mixing bowl and beat for 2 minutes with a hand mixer.

Pour into a baking dish and spread evenly. 

Bake at 350 degrees F for 30-35 until a toothpick comes out clean.

Cool and frost with cream cheese frosting. 

Sprinkle extra pumpkin pie spice for a little extra something.

Make sure you give this cake a try. I used canned cream cheese frosting because that’s how I roll most days. You can be fancy and make your own frosting if you must. I’m not the boss of you. Just make this and faceplant into it okay? Thanks.

    This turned out great! After the holidays I had a can of pumpkin that didn’t get used and a box of cake mix languishing in my cupboard. It was so light, I was so surprised! I skipped frosting, because I am trying to use up holiday baking items and just topped this with some whipped cream. Thank you so much for this recipe. I think I’ll make it on purpose in the future! My household really loved it.

      So glad you loved it! Whipped cream sounds like a delish topping.

    Ladies this recipe is terrible,complete fail.
    With all fresh ingredients it did not rise. It was like a heavy thick sponge that I had to throw out. Can you please check what doesn’t work in your recipe.

      Susan, that is really weird. I have made this recipe dozens of times and literally never had an issue. Was the cake mix you used expired? Does your oven typically cook slower and perhaps you needed to adjust baking time? I am so sorry it didn’t turn out how it should have.
