Step-by-Step Instructions for Chocolate Pumpkin Bread
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9x5 loaf pan with cooking spray and parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, sugar, salt, baking soda, and spices for 2-3 minutes.
- In another bowl, whisk the pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, and eggs until smooth and frothy.
- Fold the wet ingredients into the dry mixture until just combined, then add the chocolate chips.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for approximately 45 minutes until a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs.
- Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Prepare the ganache by simmering the heavy cream and pouring it over the dark chocolate chips. Stir until smooth.
- Frost the cooled bread with ganache and allow it to set before slicing.

Notes
Ensure pumpkin puree is thick to prevent a soggy loaf and store in the fridge for longer freshness.
