Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, softened
• 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
• 3 units Large eggs
• 1 cup Pure pumpkin puree
• 0.5 cup Whole milk
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar together using a hand mixer or stand mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.

Step 5

Mix in the pumpkin puree, milk, and vanilla extract until combined. The mixture may look slightly curdled, but this is normal.

Step 6

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 7

Transfer about 1 cup of the batter to a small bowl. Add the cocoa powder to this portion and mix thoroughly to create the chocolate batter.

Step 8

Pour half of the pumpkin batter into the prepared loaf pan. Add dollops of the chocolate batter on top, followed by the remaining pumpkin batter. Use a butter knife to gently swirl the batters together, creating a marbled effect. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

Step 10

Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
