Description
Move over Thanksgiving pies, there's a new holiday dessert in town. While still paying homage to fall's beloved pumpkin, this easy-peasy dessert gives the cake lovers at the table — not to mention the chocolate lovers — something pretty special to celebrate with. As you'd expect with a pumpkin dessert, the cake is nice and moist, and the generous spices make an intriguing and delicious combination with the chocolate. The recipe is a Yummly original created by Jessie Sheehan.
