Chocolate Pumpkin Cake

So…you hate pumpkin.

Well, I am here to help you out. I am a self professed pumpkin lover…well except for the classic pumpkin pie…don’t ask, but I never liked it. I love all the rest though…pumpkin bread, pumpkin cookies, pumpkin cake, you name it!

But, there are some of you, some of you that I just don’t understand…who actually do not like pumpkin. I can’t even begin to understand you, but I still love you. So, I present to you…Chocolate Pumpkin Cake–a delicious cake using pumpkin with actually NO pumpkin flavor! Just a simple, moist, deliciously chocolatey cake, that uses pumpkin only for its benefits. Yep. We are being users right now, but the best kind of users because this cake is delicious!

Pumpkin gives baked goods a wonderfully moist texture, but in this particular cake, you will not taste any pumpkin flavor. Now, you too, can buy those cans of pumpkin and bake a cake that YOU will eat! Believe me when I say, this cake is easy, delicious, and one of a kind!
