Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 cup chopped pecans
  • 1 cup chocolate chips

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease and flour a 9x13-inch baking pan.

  4. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the buttermilk. Mix until just combined.
  6. In a separate bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, and chopped pecans. Fold the pumpkin mixture into the batter until evenly distributed.
  7. Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
  8. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top.
  9. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
