I’m so glad Roxana created the Chocolate Party. Last month we created Chocolate with Apples. I made Crepes with Caramelized Apples and Chocolate Sauce. I even made my own Chocolate Syrup to use. I may never go back to the bottled stuff again.
October is Chocolate and Pumpkin, all month long you can link up Chocolate and Pumpkin recipes. I’ve got a few more recipes to try this month. So be sure to check back often.

Chocolate Pumpkin Spice Cake adapted from Cookstr
Top with powdered sugar or White Chocolate Buttercream Icing. Both are excellent on this cake.

October 1, 2012 at 9:34 pmOh, my does this look amazing! What a great Bundt cake…plus who can resist anything covered in buttercream? Great pumpkin/chocolate dessert for the Chocolate Party 🙂
Joan Hayes says

Paula @ Vintage Kitchen says
October 1, 2012 at 11:02 pmI love that it has both dark and white chocolate, now that is what I call a chocolate party! Beautiful pics, I find it so hard to photograph bundt cakes.

Love love love your cake, no wonder your picky eaters asked for more. I would have totally eaten the whole cake!
Thanks for sharing it with us at the #chocolateparty

Alessandra (Adventures of a Homeschool Mom) says
October 12, 2012 at 2:35 amLooks delicious! I have a question, can I use regular flour instead of cake flour?
Haniela says
October 17, 2012 at 1:01 amI so want a slice, right now! It looks so moist and so delicious. Congrats on 10,000 FB fans.
I added few of my chocolate recipes to you Chocolate Party. Have a wonderful week Joan.

Joan Hayes says
October 28, 2012 at 2:53 amThanks Jennifer! It’s a regular bundt pan, 9 or 10 cup I think, I’ve had it for about 25 years.

November 26, 2012 at 8:35 pmHi there! I just wanted to ask if you ever have any trouble with hackers?
My last blog (wordpress) was hacked and I ended up
losing many months of hard work due to no backup.
Do you have any solutions to prevent hackers?

September 10, 2013 at 12:56 pmHi Joan,
I see your recipe calls for cake flour. Did you make yours from scratch? If so, how? OR, Did you buy it? If so, what brand?
Thanks!
Jenn
Joan Hayes says
September 11, 2013 at 9:25 pmHi Jenn, I use Swan’s Down Cake Flour.
Elizabeth says
September 24, 2013 at 1:26 pmI just made this and it was amazing! Thank you for sharing! I will pass it along on my facebook so others can enjoy it as well.
Joan Hayes says
September 25, 2013 at 8:31 pmSo glad you enjoyed it!
Ashlee says
October 23, 2013 at 9:51 pmCan you use AP flour instead of cake flour? Maybe sift it it something? Thanks!
Joan Hayes says
October 24, 2013 at 8:14 amHi Ashley, yes you can. You’d want to add in some corn starch to the AP flour. Joy the Baker has great instructions on this substitution http://joythebaker.com/2009/09/how-to-make-cake-flour/
Jenn says
December 4, 2014 at 12:02 pmdo you have a link to the white chocolate frosting?
