Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Loaf Cake makes for a perfect treat during the fall and winter seasons. Pumpkin and spices make for an earthy flavor with a sweet hint of chocolate with the chips.
This Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Loaf Cake has a chocolate drizzle over the top that will mix the soft texture with a slight crunch at the top. Perfect to pair with coffee and good friends.
How much fresh pumpkin equals a 15 oz can?
If you would like to substitute pumpkin puree with fresh pumpkin, you will need just under 2-cups.
How do you store Pumpkin Bread?
Storing Pumpkin Bread is very simple. Once the loaf is cooled, tightly wrap it with plastic wrap. Pumpkin loaf can stand at room temperature for up to five days.
After that, you might want to store it in the fridge to prolong life and avoid molding.

Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Loaf Recipe
Begin by greasing the bundt cake pan very well. You don’t want anything sticking to it once it is out of the oven. A well-greased pan ensures this.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Mixing the Loaf Batter
Add sugar and butter to the mixing bowl and use an electric mixer to beat until well combined.
Add eggs, pumpkin, and vanilla extract and continue mixing. Mix everything until all ingredients are combined.
In a separate medium-sized mixing bowl, add flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Whisk together to combined.
With the electric mixer, slowly alternate pouring in the flour mixture and milk. End with the flour mixture and be sure to mix well. The batter should look like a cake mix.
Fold in the miniature chocolate chip morsels with a spatula. Ensure that all of the chocolate chips are well distributed throughout the entire mix.
Baking the Pumpkin Loaf
Carefully pour the pumpkin chocolate chip batter into the bundt cake pan. Make sure that it evenly distributed throughout the entire pan and use a spatula to smooth out the top. This ensures that the bread will sit evenly once baked.
Bake for about 50 minutes. You will want to check on the cake at around 40 minutes. Use a toothpick to insert into the bread and ensure that it comes out clean.
If the batter is being pulled from the toothpick, put the bread back into the oven to continue to bake in 5-minute segments.
Cooling and Garnishing
Let the bread cool for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wired rack.
Carefully flip over the bundt cake pan on top of the cooling rack and tap the bottom to move the bread out.
Let cool for about 20 minutes and add any toppings you wish. I personally like to warm a few chocolate chips in the microwave in 30-second increments to make a chocolate drizzle.
I then use a spoon to drizzle the chocolate over the top of the bread. It will harden after some time.
