This pumpkin chocolate chip crumb cake is simple and delicious – a fall flavored snack cake chock full of chocolate chips and topped with a cinnamon crumb topping!
Meet my new favorite fall dessert! Seriously, this pumpkin chocolate chip crumb cake is SO GOOD! I mean can’t-stop-eating-it good!
In the course of a normal day around here there is not usually a lot of down time. Which means that if I’m going to take the time to bake something and try a new recipe I’d better be pretty sure it’s going to turn out well. The combination of pumpkin, fall spices, chocolate chips, and a crumb topping sold me on this recipe, and boy did it ever deliver!
The cake is thick and sturdy, yet perfectly moist. It’s full of fall spices and pumpkin flavor, and the crumb topping is the icing on the cake. Seriously, I never would have thought to combine chocolate chips and crumb topping, but in this recipe it just works! The topping kind of melts into the cake as it bakes and gives it a sweet buttery chocolatey crust on top!
Best of all, this cake makes a full 9×13 pan, which means we got to eat it for days. The cake kept fine on the counter for 3-4 days, but if you’re planning to keep it longer than that I would freeze it. I was initially planning to freeze half of it, but needless to say that didn’t happen. 🙂
I don’t show this in the pictures, but we ended up eating this with whipped cream on top, which was the perfect addition. I think ice cream would be a pretty good option as well. 😉
You really need to try this recipe. It is my new go-to recipe for fall!
