This moist pumpkin chocolate marble cake is a delightful dessert perfect for any occasion. The warm spices of pumpkin are beautifully swirled with rich chocolate for a stunning visual and delicious taste.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients alternately with the buttermilk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
In a small bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder and hot water until smooth.
Pour half of the pumpkin batter into the prepared baking pan.
Drizzle half of the chocolate mixture over the pumpkin batter.
Gently swirl the batters together with a knife or skewer.
Pour the remaining pumpkin batter over the chocolate layer.
Drizzle the remaining chocolate mixture on top and swirl again.
Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
