Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2
Grease and flour a 12-cup bundt pan, ensuring it's well-coated to prevent sticking.
3
In a large mixing bowl or an electric mixer, combine the yellow cake mix, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, and baking soda.
4
Add in the pumpkin puree, water, and eggs. Mix on low speed for about 1 minute until ingredients are combined.
5
Scrape down the sides of the bowl and increase the mixer speed to medium. Mix for an additional 2 minutes until the batter is smooth and well combined.
6
Gently fold in the chocolate chips and finely chopped pecans, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
7
Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
8
Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 40 minutes or until the top springs back when lightly pressed. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
9
Allow the cake to cool in the pan on a wire rack for 20 minutes. Carefully turn out the cake onto the rack and let it cool completely for another 20 minutes.
10
Meanwhile, prepare the cinnamon chocolate glaze. In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar, lightly salted butter, and milk over medium heat. Stir until the butter is melted and the mixture comes to a rolling boil.
11
Once boiling, continue to stir constantly for about 1 minute.
12
Remove the saucepan from heat and immediately mix in the cinnamon baking chips, cocoa powder, and vanilla extract, stirring until the glaze is smooth.
13
Let the glaze sit for a few minutes to thicken, then pour it generously over the cooled cake.
14
For an extra touch, dust with powdered sugar if desired, and serve.
