Any dairy free suggestions instead of sour cream or whole milk yogurt?
Almond milk or coconut yogurt?

Great question! A 12-cup Bundt will hold more batter, so you may not be able to use all of it when switching to the loaf pan. Only fill it to a scant 3/4, so the batter doesn’t go over the top. It will take just slightly less time to bake because it doesn’t have the tube in the middle to provide heat. Be sure to test the very center of the pan for doneness.
If you have batter left over, you can bake it in muffin pans, which will obviously bake much faster, so keep an eye on them.
At room temperature it can last a few days, and then a few in the fridge.

Enjoy!

If I bake this in a 9×5 loaf pan, how long should it bake for? and how long does it keep out at room temp or the fridge?

Do you need to add more flour or make any adjustments when omitting the chocolate?

Thank you! The cake is delicious and moist. Haven’t had anyone try it and not enjoy

I love a Bundt cake and made this one to share with friends and family. It was a hit. Just the right combination of pumpkin, spices and chocolate. Plus it’s quick and easy and that’s a win for me.

I made the swirled pumpkin/chocolate cake for family and friends. They all loved it! Even those who aren’t fans of pumpkin. Just the right amount of pumpkin flavor. The chocolate added to the pumpkin base added an extra special touch. Thanks for sharing this delicious recipe. So good! Will definitely make it again.

This is perfect- moist, great flavor, holds up well, beautiful and easy to make! I followed the recipe as written (this version, not the Zoe Bakes Cakes version!)

This is an excellent recipe. I made this for a church coffee & people loved it. I was asked to give the recipe for this. I highly recommend it. Easy to make & moist.

I made this cake earlier this week, and it was fantastic. It was moist and delicious and even better on the second day. This one is a keeper and will definitely be in my fall rotation.
