Earthquake Pumpkin Cake: A Spooktacular Halloween Dessert with a Cracked, Quaking Crust


  • Author: WAFA LI

Ingredients

• 1 cup pumpkin puree (unsweetened)
• 1/3 cup maple syrup or honey
• 1/4 cup almond milk
• 1 egg
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 cup almond flour
• 1/2 cup oat flour (gluten-free if needed)
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp nutmeg
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/3 cup chocolate chips or chunks (semi-sweet or sugar-free)


Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×4-inch loaf pan or line with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, mix pumpkin, maple syrup, almond milk, egg, and vanilla until smooth.
  3. Add almond flour, oat flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Stir until well combined.
  4. Fold in most of the chocolate chips, reserving a few for the top.
  5. Pour half the batter into the loaf pan.
  6. Sprinkle a generous line of chocolate chips down the center lengthwise—this is your “earthquake”!
  7. Top with remaining batter, carefully covering the chocolate.
  8. Add a few extra chocolate chips on top for a molten look.
  9. Bake 35–40 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean.
  10. Let cool 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.

💡 The chocolate “crack” oozes slightly when warm—like a delicious seismic event!
