Ingredients

Cake

2 cups sugar
1 cup butter softened
3 eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
15 oz can pumpkin puree
2 cups flour
1 Tbsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
1 tsp ground cinnamon
½ tsp salt
1 ½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Frosting

8 oz cream cheese
½ cup butter softened
4 cups powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
¼ cup mini chocolate chips

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and spray a 9×13 pan with non-stick spray.
In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream the sugar and butter until combined with the paddle attachment. Then turn your mixer on high and beat for 2 minutes.
Add in the eggs, vanilla, and pumpkin puree. Mix just until just combined.
In another bowl, add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice, ground cinnamon, and salt. Whisk together until blended.
Turn the mixer on low and slowly pour in the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove and allow to cool before frosting.
In a bowl, cream the cream cheese and butter together until smooth. I use my hand mixer for this.
Add in the powdered sugar, mix until combined. Add 1 tsp of vanilla extract, mix until combined. Then turn the mixer on high and beat for 1-2 minutes until fluffy. Spread the frosting on top of the cooled cake and sprinkle with mini chocolate chips. Serves 12-15.
