- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup canned pumpkin

- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
For the Chocolate Swirl
- ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ cup chocolate chips
- 2 Tbsp buttermilk
For the Chocolate Ganache
- 1½ cup chocolate chips
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease and lightly flour the Bundt pan.
- In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, pumpkin pie spice, and cinnamon. Whisk and set aside
- In the bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and sugar until fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, scraping down the sides of the bowl. Add the pumpkin purée, sour cream and vanilla until combined.
- Slowly add the dry ingredients and beat until combined. Batter will be thick.
For the Chocolate Swirl:
- In a separate bowl, mix 1½ cups of the pumpkin batter with the chocolate swirl ingredients and stir until combined.
- Spread half of the pumpkin batter into the prepared Bundt pan. Spread all the chocolate batter evenly on top. Spread the remaining pumpkin batter and make swirls with a knife or skewer.
- Bake for 45 to 55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 30 minutes inside the pan. Invert the pan onto a cooling rack to cool completely.
For the Chocolate Ganache:
- While the cake cools, heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it starts to foam/boil around the edges. Remove from heat and pour over the chocolate chips. Let it sit for a few minutes and whisk until the chocolate is completely melted. For a thicker ganache add more chocolate chips. Let ganache cool.
- Spoon the ganache over the cake on the cooling rack. Allow the ganache to set before slicing.
