Ingredients

Scale

Sugars and Oils

  • 1 cup coconut sugar
  • ¾ cup cane sugar
  • ½ cup extra virgin olive oil

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup pumpkin purée (pure pumpkin, not pumpkin pie filling)

Dry Ingredients

  • 3 cups whole wheat flour
  • 2 tablespoons pumpkin spice
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 12-cup bundt pan thoroughly with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Sugars and Oil: Using an electric mixer, beat together the coconut sugar, cane sugar, and olive oil until well combined and smooth.
  3. Add Wet Ingredients: Beat in the unsweetened almond milk and vanilla extract. Then, add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Incorporate the pumpkin purée and beat until the mixture is smooth and uniform.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, pumpkin spice, baking soda, and kosher salt until evenly mixed.
  5. Incorporate Dry Ingredients: With the mixer on low speed, slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Mix only until fully incorporated to avoid overmixing.
  6. Divide Batter and Add Cocoa: Divide the batter equally into two bowls. Add the unsweetened cocoa powder to one bowl and beat it together until the cocoa is fully mixed in, forming a chocolate batter.
  7. Layer Batters in Pan: Pour half of the plain batter into the prepared bundt pan, spreading it evenly. Next, add half of the chocolate batter on top, spreading evenly as well. Repeat with the remaining plain batter and then spoon the remaining chocolate batter on top.
  8. Swirl Batters: Use a knife to gently swirl the chocolate batter into the plain batter to create marbled patterns. Tap the bottom of the pan firmly on a hard surface to settle the batter and remove air bubbles.
  9. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 45 to 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
  10. Cool and Serve: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, carefully invert the bundt pan onto a wire rack and let cool completely before slicing.
  11. Storage: Store the cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4-5 days, or freeze it for up to 3 months for longer storage.

Notes

  • Ensure the bundt pan is well-greased to prevent sticking; using non-stick spray or butter with a light flour dusting works well.
  • You can use either Dutch-processed or natural unsweetened cocoa powder; Dutch-processed provides a richer, darker chocolate flavor.
  • If your cocoa powder is clumpy, sift it before mixing to ensure a smooth batter.
  • This recipe calls for a mix of coconut and cane sugars for optimal flavor; brown and granulated sugars can be substituted if needed.
