Pumpkin Chocolate Swirl Loaf Cake
- 1 stick Butter, At Room Temperature
- 1 cup Light Brown Sugar
- 3 Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 3/4 cups Pumpkin Puree (not Pie Filling)
- 2-1/2 cups Cake Flour
- 1-1/2 teaspoon Baking Powder
- 1/4 teaspoons Ground Cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoons Ground Ginger
- 1/8 teaspoons Ground Cloves
- 1 pinch Ground Nutmeg
- 1/2 cups Chocolate Spread/nutella
- Preheat the oven to 160 C/325 F and grease then line a 2 pound loaf tin with parchment paper. Set aside.
- Place the butter and sugar into a large bowl or the bowl of your stand mixer and beat until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes on medium-high speed.
- Add in the eggs and vanilla extract and mix until well incorporated. Add in the pumpkin puree, flour, baking powder and spices and mix until light and smooth, about 1 minute on medium-high speed.
- Take 3/4 cup of batter and place into a medium sized bowl. Place the chocolate spread into the medium bowl and mix with a spoon/spatula until well combined.
- Spoon 1/3 of the plain pumpkin batter into the loaf pan and level off. Then spoon 1/3 of the chocolate batter on top and mix slightly until swirled. Repeat with a second and third layer of the pumpkin batter and chocolate batter until the loaf pan is filled.
- Place in the oven for 65-75 minutes until risen, it springs back to the touch and a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Remove pan from oven and set on a rack. Leave bread to cool in the pan for at least 1 hour before removing it from the pan and transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, slice and store in an airtight container, at room temperature for 4 days.
