Inspired by Parsley and Icing's delicious pumpkin olive oil cake, we share our chocolatey version that is topped with a citrusy and zesty cream cheese icing below.

  1. 1 cup all purpose flour

  3. 1/2 tsp baking soda

  4. 1/2 tsp salt

  5. 1 tsp baking powder

  6. 1 cup pumpkin puree (we made ours freshly, however canned works perfectly fine)

  8. 1/2 cup granulated sugar

  9. 2 eggs

  10. 1/2 cup olive oil

  4. Combine wet and dry ingredients then fold chocolate chips in

  5. Pour the batter into loaf pan and bake for about 35-40 mins until toothpick comes out dry (cover loosely with foil around the 25 min mark to avoid extra browning)
