Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups gluten free all purpose flour blend
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
• 1/2 cup softened butter
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup pumpkin puree
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup semi sweet chocolate chips, melted
• 1 cup chocolate buttercream frosting for topping

How to make it

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and grease an 8 inch square baking pan.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the gluten free flour, baking powder, baking soda, and all the spices.
3. In a separate large bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until smooth. Add the pumpkin puree, eggs, and vanilla, then mix until combined.
4. Slowly stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until you have a smooth batter.
5. Take one third of the batter out and mix it with the melted chocolate in a small bowl.
6. Spread the plain pumpkin batter into your prepared pan. Dollop spoonfuls of the chocolate batter on top.
7. Use a knife to gently swirl the two batters together to create a marbled look.
8. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
9. Let the cake cool completely on a wire rack before spreading your chocolate buttercream frosting over the top.

Tips

Let the cake cool all the way before you put the frosting on top.
