Instructions
 

Chocolate Pumpkin Cake

  • If using a fresh pumpkin - cut it in half, scoop out the seeds, and bake for 40 minutes at 400F. Blend when cooled. Clean out your blender. Keep your oven on and prepare your cake pans.
  • Add in your lemon juice to the milk. Let it curdle for a few minutes
  • in a medium bowl, combine your vegan butter, mylk, pumpkin puree and sugar
  • In a separate (or can be put into the same bowl if desired) medium bowl add your dry ingredients. Mix well.
  • Add your dry ingredients to your wet ingredients and mix well. Fold in your chocolate chips
  • Pour into your prepared cake pans. I usually go up to 3/4 up but anywhere between 1/2 to 3/4 up is fine.
  • Cook for 40-45 minutes depending on how think your layers are and how big your cake pans are. I always check the centre.
  • Enjoy the most moist softest and delicious cake!!!!

Chocolate Buttercream

  • Blend all your ingredients in one bowl and blend until smooth and creamy
  • Keep in the fridge for at least 30 minutes or until it's thickened
  • Frost your layers!
