Servings: persons

1 cup sugar
1 ½ cups flour
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
1 ½ teaspoons cinnamon
½ teaspoon salt
¾ cup oil
15 ounces canned pumpkin
2 whole eggs
1 cup chocolate chips, with a light coating of flour, which helps chips not sink to the bottom of the cake during cooking
1 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 ⅓ cups apple cider or 1 ⅓ cups apple juice, with a dash of Cinnamon and nutmeg
4 tablespoons heavy cream or 4 tablespoons milk
2 tablespoons butter
¼ teaspoon salt (may add more based on your taste)

1
Cake:.
2
Combine the first six ingredients.
3
Add oil, pumpkin and eggs.
4
Whisk or mix until blended.
5
If you choose to put chocolate chips in (which I recommend) fold these in now.
6
Pour the mixture into a greased 9 x13 pan.
7
Bake at 325 Fahrenheit for 30 minutes (give or take a few minutes).
8
Use a toothpick and poke the middle of the cake to ensure the toothpick comes out clean; if it does, its ready to come out of the oven!
9
The cake will stay together better when cutting and serving it you allow the cake to cool for approximately an hour or more.
10
When ready to serve, smother each piece in the warm caramel topping.
11
Caramel Topping:.
12
In a saucepan, whisk brown sugar and cornstarch; do not add liquid until both ingredients are thoroughly mixed.
13
Add cider and stir in the cream, butter, and salt.
14
Cook over medium-high heat, whisking constantly, until large bubbles form around the edge of the saucepan; which may take approximately 3 minutes.
15
Reduce heat to low and allow to thicken; which may take approximately 3 minutes as well.
16
This melt-in-your-mouth dessert can also be paired with a mound of (real) whipping cream or ice cream.
17
Enjoy!

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
