Here is a chocolate cake with hidden veggies that the kids will NEVER know are there!

Ingredients:

1/2 cup butter melted
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1 tbsp pumpkin pie spice
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
3/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup sour cream
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 egg plus 1 egg yolk
1 cup chocolate chips
1 cup pumpkin puree

For the ganache:

1 1/2 cups chocolate chips
3/4 cup cream

Method:

Preheat oven to 180 degrees.
Whisk flour, cocoa powder, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda, baking powder, and salt together.
In another bowl, combine melted butter, sugar, sour cream, vanilla, egg and egg yolk until smooth. Pour wet ingredients over dry and stir until combined, then fold in chocolate chips and pumpkin puree.
Transfer mixture to prepared pan and bake for an hour. Let it cool.
Make ganache: In a saucepan heat cream just until it bubbles. Pour cream over chocolate chips and let stand 2 minutes then whisk until smooth.
Pour ganache over pumpkin bread and serve.

My kids love this – don’t waste any time; bake it today!

Just because this cake has some hidden veggies, doesn’t make it a healthy cake. To be honest I wouldn’t eat this myself or give it to my children unless I would tweak this recipe and use healthier ingredients.

I am just wondering your pumpkin puree is that a leftover??

I love the sound of this by the way 🙂

I’ve heard of chocolate cake with zucchini, but with pumpkin purée sounds great too. The kids are getting their serving of vegetables without knowing!
