Chocolate Pumpkin Cake with Hershey’s Chocolate Frosting and Candy Corns

September 21, 2016 By Elizabeth@ Pine Cones and Acorns 3 Comments

Good morning! How was your weekend? Mine was great, we went to the beach, made grilled pizza, read and relaxed. I also made this scrumptious Chocolate Pumpkin cake with chocolate frosting and candy corns! Bring on Fall!

Chocolate Pumpkin Layer Cake with Chocolate Frosting and Candy Corn Decoration

Cake recipe from I am Baker

11/2 cups flour

2/3 cup cocoa

2 teaspoons baking powder

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup of buttermilk, room temperature

1 cup canned pumpkin

1cup brown sugar

1 cup white sugar

1 tablespoon vanilla

3/4 cup butter, room temperature

4 eggs, room temperature

Cake Directions:

Heat oven to 350 and prepare 8″ round, or square pans with cooking spray. Line bottom with parchment paper for easier removal.

In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

In a small bowl combine buttermilk,  and pumpkin and mix together until incorporated. 

In a mixer, beat together the sugars, butter and vanilla until light and fluffy. Then add the eggs, one at a time until fully incorporated. 

Alternately add the flour and the buttermilk mixtures to the sugar mixture, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. 

Mix on low for 1 minute, until fully combined then divide batter between the pans. Bake for 18-26 minutes. The cake is done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool on wire rack for 5 minutes then remove from pan and let cool.

Frost cake with Hershey’s Perfectly Chocolate Frosting or your favorite frosting. Then decorate with candy corn candy in whatever way you like.

I think that you will love this cake even if you do not like pumpkin, the pumpkin does not alter the chocolate flavor, it simply makes the cake more moist. So basically this is a delicious chocolate cake with creamy chocolate frosting and candy corn decorations. 

What did you do this weekend? Did you do anything fun? Make anything delicious? If so please share. 

I hope that you have a fabulous week.

Good morning friends! We’ve had a lazy start to Good morning friends! We’ve had a lazy start to the weekend, it was raining when we woke up and that did not inspire me to hop out of bed to work around the house or the yard. Now the sun is shining and I am feeling so relaxed I don’t want to go outside. I’ve been perusing Pinterest and Instagram and there is so much inspiration for Spring and summer. I want to repaint a few rooms in the house(even through I don’t like painting) I want to plant a huge garden and have a wildflower meadow, I’ve found at least 30 recipes to try and I want to order at least 10 dresses from various stores. I better rein myself in before I do some serious damage to my wallet. Tell me what are you doing this morning? If you are relaxing with a cup of coffee come over to the blog and check out all of my favorites from around the web this week. I have book recommendations, recipes, fashion finds and more. Have a happy Saturday. #saturdayvibes #saturdaymorning #saturday #weekendvibes #weekend #flowers #springdecor #spring #springstyle #cherryblossom

My eggs are dyed and ready, now I just need a few My eggs are dyed and ready, now I just need a few kids to hunt for them. I dyed my eggs this year with red cabbage and I love the colors. Next year I might branch out and try turmeric and coffee. Have you dyed any eggs? What did you use to dye them? Are you have a hunt? I loved hunting for Easter eggs as a child, we always has a huge hunt with eggs filled with candy and some with money. That was back when $5.00 was like winning the lottery. Am I dating myself?

Good evening friends, I hope you had a great day! Good evening friends, I hope you had a great day! I’ve been experimenting with plants and branches from my yard to make an Easter arrangement. I wanted tulips but there was a man at the store that asked me to point out the tulips for him, he told me his wife sent him to but them all up. I think she probably specified a certain color and he missed that part of the instructions, either that or they were going for and arrangement of every color of the rainbow. In any case there was nothing left for me except one package of cabbage looking things so off I went to the yard to forage. I added a moss covered bunny and some eggs and I am ready. Today on the blog I am sharing some of my favorite Easter memories, happy times spent with my grandparents and siblings and more. What is you happiest Easter memory? Please share it here or on the blog. Have a wonderful night. #easter #easterbasket #easterdecor #easterbunny #easterflowers #flowersofinstagram #flowers #flowerphotography #foragedflowers #foraged #blogger #blogpost #pineconesandacorns #cherryblossom #herbs #mint
