Pumpkin and Chocolate Marble Cake

This pumpkin and chocolate marble cake is soft, moist, warmly spiced and perfect for when you can't decide between two classics. You only need one main cake batter to make it, which means you don't need to make two completely different recipes! It's lovely served by itself, but I topped mine with an easy two-ingredient chocolate ganache, making it a low-effort but high-reward dessert.

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. In a large mixing bowl, prepare the main cake batter by combining the flour, sugar, baking powder, and spices.
3. Add the wet ingredients to the dry mixture and mix until just combined.
4. Divide the batter into two equal parts. To one part, add the pumpkin puree and mix well.
5. To the other part of the batter, add the melted chocolate and mix until combined.
6. Grease a loaf pan and alternate spoonfuls of the pumpkin batter and chocolate batter into the pan.
7. Use a knife to gently swirl the batters together to create a marbled effect.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

10. Optionally, top the cooled cake with a two-ingredient chocolate ganache before serving.
