April 21, 2015
This simple sheet cake combines pumpkin and pumpkin pie spice with sweet chocolate chips and crunchy walnuts for a family-favorite fall dessert.
Preheat oven to 350ºF. Mist an 8-inch square baking pan with cooking spray; line with parchment.
Whisk together butter, sugar, eggs, pumpkin puree and vanilla in a large mixing bowl.
Stir in baking soda, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice and salt.
Stir in 1/2 of flour, then milk, then remaining flour, stirring until just combined (do not overmix). Fold in chocolate chips and nuts.
Scrape batter into pan and smooth top with a rubber spatula. Bake until firm to the touch and a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, 55 to 60 minutes.
Let cake cool in pan on a wire rack for 5 minutes, then invert onto rack. Immediately turn right side up onto another rack to cool completely. Cut into 9 squares and serve.
