Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bundt Cake

"This is a wonderful Fall cake, the taste is so yummy, super to serve for a Thanksgiving dinner, it's a never-fail cake, always turns out high, and mighty and very moist, if desired, you could replace the chocolate chips with walnuts or pecans or make it with both the chocolate chips and nuts together, anyway you choose to make it...it is a super cake recipe."

  1. I like this. It's a little heavy, I suppose from the pumpkin. It has some pumpkin taste but it's not as pronounced as it is in pie. <br/><br/>I increased the cinnamon to 2 teaspoons, but I have a high tolerance for cinnamon ;) Also added 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract. Like one of the other reviewers I cut the oil in half and made up the difference with buttermilk. I also subbed one cup of the AP flour with whole wheat pastry flour. I used one whole egg and 2 egg whites and used flax seed meal mixed with water to make up for the missing egg yolks. I cut the sugar by one cup (used a cup and a half) and it suits my taste very well (if I make this for other people I will use the recommended amount). Finally, I used only 1/2 cup of chocolate chips and added 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts. I'm thinking that pecans will go into it next time. One hour of baking and it was done perfectly.<br/><br/>This cake took my substitutions very well. I will make it again. The only thing that keeps me from giving it 5 stars is that it is somewhat heavy, which is probably due to the pumpkin. But I can't fault that too much because this cake is a very good pumpkin delivery system that doesn't involve turning it into a pie (pumpkin is a great food).
     
  2. This turned out fantastic! Nice and moist (with a slightly crusty outer - which I was hoping for). I halved the oil and replaced it with lowfat buttermilk in hopes of making it "healthier". Could not have been tastier and feel better about the fat content now. Maybe I should not have had a 2nd slice, though....probably cancelled out my lowfat idea! ;)
     
  3. Great recipe! This turned out a very moist cake. Everyone loved it! The only advice I would add is that it took almost an hour and a half to bake....could be just my oven, but thought I'd mention it.
     
  4. I was looking for a Thanksgiving holiday dessert to wow and this wasn't it. Presentation is a 5, tastes is a 2. Too sweet even though I cut the sugar and only used 2 cups but flavorless. Too heavy and rustic for a wow dessert. I topped with a Maple-creme cheese icing and that helped give it flavor. Maybe with some tweeking this would be good and I will try again, but by the time I am adjusting, I could not call it the same recipe.
     
  5. I made this with brown rice flour in order to make it gluten free. It turned out great! I also "powdered" the pan with cocoa instead of flour. Topped it with cinnamon cream cheese frosting. Delish :) Making it again for Thanksgiving and topping it with ganache this time. Very moist, great pumpkin flavor.

  3. It really is moist, and is dense and fluffy at the same time. We couldn't stop eating it! I was out of oil and replaced it with 1 cup + 3 tablespoons of melted butter. Instead of dusting the pan with flour I used cocoa powder. The pumpkin gives it a delicious flavor and a heartiness that is definitely welcome in the cool Fall weather.
