Pumpkin and Chocolate Chip Loaf
Sounds odd, huh? But my Pumpkin and Chocolate Chip Loaf is moist, tasty and delicious.
Serve warm with a slab of butter.
A great cake to serve at Halloween (if you’re into that) and definitely a healthier option than all of those lollies your kids will bring home if they plan on making the trick or treating rounds this year. Enjoy!
