rich and tender chocolate pumpkin bread and completely covered in glossy chocolate ganache

I had wondered about making a chocolate pumpkin bread for years, but I was always worried the cocoa powder would make it dry. So I finally started testing recipes last spring, and you guys, this is one of the best chocolate loaf recipes I’ve ever had.

The pumpkin is the secret. It adds so much moisture that you get a tender, almost brownie-like loaf without losing that classic pumpkin bread texture. And then we add chocolate chips AND pour ganache over the top because apparently we don’t know when to stop. 😂

Why You’ll Love This Chocolate Pumpkin Bread

  • Incredibly moist: Pumpkin puree and oil keep this loaf soft and tender for days.
  • Serious chocolate flavor: Cocoa powder, chocolate chips and chocolate ganache make this one for the chocolate lovers.
  • Easy one-bowl batter: No mixer needed and very little cleanup.
  • Dessert-worthy: That glossy ganache takes simple pumpkin bread straight into chocolate cake territory.
  • Even better the next day: The loaf stays moist and the chocolate and pumpkin flavors get even better as it sits.

As the cake bakes, the top gets slightly caramelized and chewy, and it is ridiculously delicious. Add that warm caramel sauce and this fresh apple cake is pretty hard to beat.

Why You’ll Love This Apple Cake Recipe

  • Easy homemade caramel sauce: The warm caramel sauce takes the cake completely over the top.
  • No fancy decorating: Bake it in one pan, spoon caramel over each serving and you’re done!

Ingredients You’ll Need

For the Apple Cake

  • Sugar: Sweetens the cake and helps create that irresistible, slightly caramelized top.
  • Brown Sugar: Adds extra moisture and a deeper, caramel-like sweetness.
  • Butter: Gives the apple cake a rich flavor and tender texture. Make sure it’s softened for easy mixing.
  • Eggs: Add structure, richness and moisture to the cake.
  • Vanilla Extract: Adds warmth and enhances all those apple and spice flavors.
  • Flour: All-purpose flour gives the cake its structure while keeping it soft and tender.
  • Salt: Balances the sweetness and brings out all the other flavors.
  • Nutmeg: Adds a warm, slightly nutty flavor that pairs perfectly with apples.
  • Cinnamon: The must-have apple spice! It adds warmth and that classic fall flavor.
  • Ground Cloves: Just a little adds a deep layer of warm spice without overpowering the apples.
  • Baking Soda: Helps the cake rise and contributes to its tender texture.
  • Baking Powder: Gives the cake additional lift so it doesn’t become too dense.
  • Apples: Granny Smith or Honeycrisp apples work great here. Granny Smith brings a tart contrast to the sweet cake, while Honeycrisp adds a sweeter, juicy crunch.
