PUMPKIN CHOCOLATE CHIP CAKE

How many things have you made with pumpkin so far this fall?  I have only done 2 things.  Pumpkin Dump Cake was my first, and this pumpkin chocolate chip cake is my 2nd. I am guessing I will make muffins soon, but that will probably be it until Thanksgiving for me. My 11 year old probably wishes that weren’t the case, but I have to draw the line somewhere!

I kind of want to make every pumpkin dessert that I see. There is just something about this time of year and the comfort of all the spices that just gets me every time. The weather turns colder and I want all the cinnamon and spices in everything.

I finally broke down and made a cake.  My friend Sandra from A Dash of Sanity posted this Triple Chocolate Pumpkin Cake and the ganache was just calling my name!  I kind of wanted to lick my screen.  So I made my own version of the cake and topped it with the rich chocolate ganache. It was a great decision. If you follow along on Instagram, you might have seen me making this cake earlier this week.

Trust me when I say the ganache is incredible. I pretty much licked the bowl clean, and was pretty sad when it was gone. If you like a lot of frosting or glaze on your cake, you might want to make extra. Extra chocolate is always a good idea!
