Margaret’s Pumpkin Cake
This recipe comes from a woman who was like a grandmother to me when I was growing up. It’s the perfect fall treat and makes great muffins, too.
INGREDIENTS
- 2 cups sugar
- 4 eggs
- 1 can pumpkin
- 1 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 3 cups flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 2 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
HOW TO MAKE IT
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients: sugar, flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt
- Using a mixer (hand held or standing), add in the eggs one at a time
- Continue to mix in the remaining ingredients: pumpkin and oil – mix on medium-high until the batter is smooth
- Lastly, fold in the chocolate chips
- Pour the cake batter into a greased bundt pan or muffin pan
- Bake at 350°F for 1 hour (bake at 350°F 12-15 minutes for mini muffins and small muffins – this could be up to 20 minutes depending on the type of muffin pan you have)
