Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 15 ounces pumpkin
  • 2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3 eggs
  • 2 cup flour
  • 1 bag mini chocolate chips
  • 8 ounces cream cheese
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • cinnamon (to taste)

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl blend together all the cake ingredients except for the eggs, flour, and chocolate chips. 
  • Thoroughly blend the eggs in one at a time, then blend in the flour until it's completely incorporated into the batter. Then gently stir in about 3/4 of the bag of mini chocolate chips.
  • Pour the batter into a 9x13 inch pan that has been lined with cooking spray.
  • In a medium size bowl, blend together the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla. Spoon the mix into a sandwich bag and cut a small hole in one corner. Pipe the cream cheese mix all over the top of the cake batter, it doesn't need to be pretty. Also, don't try to spread it out, it will even out while it bakes.
  • Combine the crumb topping ingredients in a medium size bowl with a pastry blender until all the ingredients are thoroughly blended together. Do not soften the butter first! This takes a little work but is well worth it! Distribute the crumb topping all over the top, but don't pat it down.
  • Bake for about 40 minutes then check the cake, if the center hasn't set up or if a toothpick comes out with wet cake batter you need to give it some more time. Mine ended up taking between 45 and 50 minutes. This can vary depending on your elevation.
  • Optional: serve with whipped topping and extra chocolate chips.
