Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cake

Submitted by: Michelle Caplan

Ingredients:
  • 2 cups sifted flour
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon allspice
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 can pumpkin
  • 1 cup oil
  • 1 cup all-bran cereal
  • 12 ounce bag of chocolate chips

Directions:

  1. Preheat over to 350 degrees.
  2. Sift flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger and allspice together. Set aside.
  3. Beat eggs in a seperate bowl. Add pumpkin, oil, and cereal. Add dry ingredients and beat with a mixer. (It's okay if there are still peices of cereal. They will melt when the cake is in the oven.)
  4. Fold in chocolate chips.
  5. Pour batter into greased and floured pan. Bake 50 to 55 minutes. Enjoy!
