Absolutely fantastic! I halved the frosting recipe and found it just enough for us. I was not prepared to love the pumpkin buttercream as much as I did-a really delicious new frosting recipe! The crumb of the cake is perfection and I love that the whole thing came together very quickly. Thank you!

This is THE best homemade chocolate cake I’ve ever had. Or ever made. It is so good. Everytime I make it, it’s gone within the hour.

A delicious, fudge-y, and decadent chocolate cake with a sweet and lightly spiced pumpkin frosting. I did mine in an 8×8 glass dish and it required a few more minutes baking time but I just used a toothpick to get the desired consistency. This amount of buttercream leaves a substantial layer on top of the cake, which is such a treat! Just a note: the 1 TBSP of butter is only for the pumpkin purée mix (in the saucepan) NOT the 1 cup, leave that for the icing sugar! I learned the hard way!

Hi Rachel – the cake is good for at least two days. I usually make it the night before serving, but it will still taste good a day or two later. You can freeze it ahead of time, and then frost it the day of, or the day before. I hope that helps! 🙂

How may days will the cake stay fresh??? Trying to determine when to bake for Thanksgiving versus freezing as you mention above!

I´m not that much into pumpkin, to be honest. But this cake makes me curious!

Hi Savana – I think that should work fine! I’ve baked this cake in an 8 inch square pan and it worked great; I’m sure the circle pan would be no problem. Just make sure your cake pan has 2-inch sides.

Do you think you could pour this into an 8 inch round cake tin and use this as your “chocolate cake?” I made this the other night and its delicious and have to make a cake this weekend and would love to just use this recipe.
