Pumpkin Chocolate Cake

Kelly shared this recipe, and my family devoured it.  They didn't know it had pumpkin in there.  Moist and just fantastic...great dessert for fall/winter.  Eat it warm too, don't wait!

Posted by Kelly B., from Whole Foods Recipes


Ingredients

1/4 cup canola oil, plus more for greasing
1 cup whole wheat pastry flour (I used regular whole wheat flour)
1/3 cup cocoa powder
2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup sugar (Or 1/2 c. brown sugar, and 3/4 c. white sugar)
2 eggs
1 (15-ounce) can pumpkin purée
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)

Method

Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease an (8-inch) square baking pan with oil and set aside.

In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, baking soda and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together oil, sugar, eggs, pumpkin and vanilla. Whisk flour mixture into pumpkin mixture until well combined then transfer batter to prepared pan.

Bake until the cakes pulls away from the sides of the pan and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 40 to 50 minutes. Set aside to let cool then cut into squares and dust with powdered sugar, if you like.
