Ingredients

The following ingredients have 16 Servings
  • 1 Egg + 1 Egg yolk
  • 1 cup All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 tsp Pumpkin Pie Spice
  • 1/2 tsp Ground Cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp Baking Soda
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1 stick (1/2 cup) Unsalted Butter, at room temp
  • 1/2 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1/4 cup Dark Brown Sugar ((light brown sugar will work as well))
  • 1 tsp Pure Vanilla Extract
  • 3/4 cup Pumpkin Puree ((not pumpkin pie filling))
  • 2/3 cup Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips ((plus a few for sprinkling on top))

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Line an 8 x 8 baking dish with parchment paper and / or spray it with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Whisk together egg and egg yolk. Set them near the oven as it's heating up (the eggs should be about room temperature when you add them to the batter).
  • In a small bowl, whisk together flour, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, baking soda and salt.
  • In the bowl of a standing mixer or with a hand mixer, beat butter until creamy. Add granulated sugar and brown sugar and beat on high until light and fluffy, ~2 minutes.
  • Add egg, egg yolk and vanilla and mix until combined.
  • Add pumpkin puree and mix on medium until combined (the mixture will look lumpy and slightly broken).
  • Add dry ingredients in two increments, mixing on low between each addition. Add 2/3 cup chocolate chips and stir to combine.
  • Pour batter into prepared pan and smooth the surface out with a spatula (it will be quite thick). Sprinkle a few chocolate chips over top.
  • Bake until the cake is just set in the middle, 30-35 minutes (see note).
  • Let cool completely in the pan before slicing into squares.
