Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Loaf Cake

Had to post this recipe too! It's my favorite new fall dessert recipe and has been a big hit all around! :) I got the idea because I tasted the Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Coffee Cake at Starbucks and thought it was soo good that I wanted to try to make it (or something similar). This recipe comes from epicurious.com.

Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Loaf Cake






Ingredients:
1 3/4 cups unbleached all purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
1 1/4 cups sugar
3 large eggs
1 cup canned pure pumpkin
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/3 cup whole milk
1 1/2 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips (one bag)

Preparation:
Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter and flour 9x5x2 1/2-inch metal loaf pan. Sift first 5 ingredients into medium bowl. Using electric mixer, beat butter in large bowl until smooth. Gradually beat in sugar, then beat in eggs 1 at a time. Beat in pumpkin and vanilla. Beat dry ingredients into pumpkin mixture alternately with milk. Stir in chocolate chips and nuts. Transfer batter to prepared pan. Bake loaf cake until tester inserted into center comes out clean, about 55 minutes. Cool in pan on rack 15 minutes. Turn cake out onto rack; cool completely. (Can be made 2 days ahead. Wrap in plastic; store at room temperature.) Top with vanilla frosting - yum!
