Pumpkin Cake With Mexican Chocolate Whipped Cream

• FOR THE CAKE:
• 2 cups Flour
• 1 Tablespoon Baking Powder
• 2 teaspoons Baking Soda
• 1/4 teaspoons Salt
• 2 teaspoons Cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoons Nutmeg
• 1/4 teaspoons Allspice
• 1/4 teaspoons Ground Ginger
• 1-1/3 cup Sugar
• 3/4 cups Vegetable Oil
• 1/3 cups Yogurt
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla
• 2 cups Canned Pumpkin Puree
• 4 whole Eggs
• FOR THE WHIPPED CREAM:
• 1/2 cups Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
• 1 cup Cold Heavy Cream
• 2 Tablespoons Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
• 1/2 teaspoons Cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoons Chili Powder
• 1/4 cups Chocolate Shavings (optional)

1. Preheat oven to 350 F. Grease and flour a 9x13 inch sheet pan or two 9-inch round cake pans.
2. In a medium sized bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and spices. Set aside.
3. In a separate large bowl, combine sugar and oil. Stir in yogurt, vanilla, and pumpkin. Beat eggs in one at a time, mixing very well after each addition. Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients until fully combined. Spread batter into prepared pan(s). Bake for 40-50 minutes. Remove pan(s) from oven and set on a rack. Cool completely.
4. While that's happening, melt the chocolate chips (in the top of a double boiler or in the microwave for 30 second increments, just until mostly melted and smooth). Then remove from heat and allow the chocolate to cool a bit. You can also use bittersweet or dark chocolate, but if you do, we suggest adding a tablespoon of powdered sugar to the cream mixture.
5. In a medium sized bowl whisk together the heavy cream, cocoa powder, cinnamon and chili powder. Whip for about 5 minutes, or just until the cream reaches the "stiff peaks" stage. In a large bowl, carefully fold about half of the cream into the chocolate. Then fold in the remaining cream.
6. When the cake is completely cool, layer the cream in the middle (if using two round pans) and on top of the cake. Garnish with chocolate shavings.
