    Pumpkins are in season right now – not only to use them for Halloween as scary decoration ;P These big orange fellas are mostly here to feed us and since the season is quite long, you can easily get them in stores until January… and if you freeze them you can enjoy them even longer. Or make this delicious Pumpkin Chocolate Bundt Cake almost all year round…

    I really like baking with veggies. No matter if it’s pumpkins, zucchini or beets, for example. You can bake so many nice things with these vegetables and also sneak some vitamins into the diet without someone noticing :P Just sayin’! In the US you get pumpkin puree basically in every supermarket I think – at least that’s how I remember it. Here in Germany you actually really have to hunt it down if you don’t want to make it yourself… which is btw. really easy. I have a easy peasy recipe for pumpkin puree here on the blog you can make and then freeze. Just in case you can’t get in anywhere.

    The pumpkin pie spice is also a problem here. I haven’t seen it in stores so far. You can order it online* but to be honest – really easy to make at home. If you like that kind of spice you can make a small batch and use it wherever you want. Bakes, desserts and of course in a pumpkin spice latte ;) Since that coffee shop chain introduced that drink everybody goes nuts in fall :P

    Well… besides that – not much to tell about the cake. It is really easy to prepare and comes out really nice. If you want to skip some or all of the sugar, that’s fine. I made it with xylitol already and it worked fine. Sugar-free chocolate chips work as well. Dunno if you can make the pumpkin seed brittle with a sugar replacement – probably not ;)

    If you are looking for some more pumpkin recipes – for example, because you made too much pumpkin puree – you should also take a look at my Maple Pumpkin Pie. That one is really delicious and also quite easy to prepare :)

    DIRECTIONS / ZUBEREITUNG

    • English
    • Deutsch
    1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a 10 cups (2,4l) bundt pan and dust with some flour. Set aside.

    2. Add the oil and brown sugar to a large bowl and mix until well combined. Add the eggs one after another and mix well after each addition. Mix until everything is fluffy and a bit paler than at the beginning. Mix the flour with baking soda, pumpkin pie spice, and salt and add alternating with the pumpkin puree to the bowl – mix until just combined. Add the chocolate chips and fold in. Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan, smooth out the top and bake for 55-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean. Take out of the oven and let cool down in the pan for some time, then remove carefully and let cool down completely on a wire rack.

    3. For the pumpkin seed brittle add the sugar to a small nonstick pan and melt slowly until golden. As soon as all the sugar has caramelized add the pumpkin seeds and mix. Pour that mixture onto a sheet of baking paper and spread out. Let cool down completely, then break into (not too) small pieces. Set aside.

    4. For the glaze mix the cream cheese with confectioners‘ sugar, and maple syrup until smooth. Mix in some milk if the glaze is too thick, add some more confectioners‘ sugar if too runny. Glaze the cooled cake and decorate with the brittle. Serve soon because the caramel will start to liquify after a while when in contact with the wet glaze.

    1. Den Ofen auf 180°C (350°F) vorheizen. Eine 2,4l (10 cups) Gugelhupfform einfetten und mit etwas Mehl ausstauben. Zur Seite stellen.

    2. Das Öl und den braunen Zucker in eine große Schüssel geben und gut verrühren. Die Eier einzeln dazugeben und jeweils gut unterrühren. So lange mixen, bis die Mischung luftig und etwas heller ausschaut. Mehl mit Natron, Pumpkin Pie Spice und Salz vermischen und dann abwechselnd mit dem Kürbispüree zur Schüssel dazugeben und verrühren – nur so viel rühren, bis sich alles gerade so verbunden hat. Die Schokodrops dazugeben und unterheben. Den Teig in die vorbereitete Form füllen, glatt streichen und dann für 55-60 Minuten backen – mit einem Holzspieß testen, ob noch Teig kleben bleibt und den Kuchen erst herausholen, wenn dieser sauber herauskommt. In der Form etwas abkühlen lassen und dann vorsichtig aus der Form lösen und auf einem Kuchengitter komplett auskühlen lassen.

    3. Für das Kürbiskrokant den Zucker in eine kleine beschichtete Pfanne geben und langsam karamellisieren lassen. Wenn der Zucker geschmolzen ist und eine schöne goldene Farbe bekommen hat, die Kürbiskerne dazugeben und alles kurz vermischen. Die Masse dann auf ein Stück Backpapier schütten, glatt streichen und abkühlen lassen. In Stücke brechen.

    4. Für die Glasur den Frischkäse mit dem Puderzucker und Ahornsirup verrühren. Sollte die Mischung zu dünn sein, noch etwas Puderzucker nachlegen. Sollte die Glasur zu dickflüssig sein, nach und nach noch etwas Milch dazugeben, bis es passt. Den abgekühlten Kuchen damit glasieren. Mit dem Kürbiskernkrokant dekorieren (Kuchen danach nicht zu lange stehen lassen, weil das Karamell mit der Zeit Wasser zieht und sich verflüssigt).

    About me


    Hi, my name is Marc. I’m a graphic designer.
    I love my job, but in between I love to bake and try new things in the kitchen. A lot of my friends and colleagues encourage me to bake – for a very simple reason: they get the leftovers – and it seems they like it most of the time. ;)
