Pumpkin & Chocolate Loaf Cake

Pumpkin chocolate cake is a delicious and comforting dessert, perfect for fall. Fluffy and aromatic pumpkin combines with intense chocolate to create a moist and flavorful cake, ideal for serving with a cup of tea or coffee on cool days. Pumpkin baking is both delicious and beautiful! I baked this wonderful cake using the ingredients I had available.

• 
  Make pumpkin puree using a blender or a fine grater. I used frozen puree. Beat the egg with the sugar and vanilla. Then, continuing to beat, add the puree. Then add vegetable oil and beat again.
• Mix the dry ingredients in a separate bowl: flour, baking powder, salt, orange zest. Pour the liquid ingredients into the dry ingredients and knead the dough.
• Make chocolate dough using the same principle. Beat the eggs, sugar, sour cream, milk, and butter at room temperature.
• 
  Then add the liquid mixture to the dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, cocoa, salt) and prepare the chocolate dough.
• 
  Distribute the dough in the baking mold, alternating between the chocolate and yellow dough.
• 
  Place the baking mold in the oven for one hour (180°).
• 
  Prepare the glaze for the cake: mix orange juice with powdered sugar and a tablespoon of rum.
• 
  The loaf cake can be decorated with chocolate, sprinkled with powdered sugar, or covered with glaze.
• 
  The cake is truly beautiful! Try making this cake and enjoy it to the fullest. Enjoy!
