Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cake

Submitted by RunninLion

"This recipe is from the Seasons of Central Pennsylvania Cookbook. I've made it numerous times and it never fails to impress. The original recipe used two loaf pans, but I found that it took much too long to bake through so I usually make it in a brownie pan. The choice is yours to make. Enjoy!"
