Chocolate Pumpkin Mochi Cake
Christmas decor in the stores is the indication that the holidays are coming up fast. True they’re rushing us a bit, but before you know it you’ll be baking and delivering all of your holiday goods to friends and neighbors. Luckily Baker’s Secret is here to help with their Cook N’ Carry Pan. This 3-quart, 9″ x 13″ pan includes a plastic cover which makes it easy to transport your baked goods anywhere!
Whether it’s cutting your baked goods into squares right in the pan or putting them in festive baking cups, this pan makes it easy to take and deliver. I also like the idea of tying the whole thing up with a bow, treats and all, along with a recipe card and presenting the pan as a holiday gift.
I used my Cook N’ Carry pan to combine two great holiday flavors, chocolate and pumpkin, to create a Chocolate Pumpkin Mochi Cake. Mochiko is a fine, sweet rice flour, found in most asian markets or online. This a sweet holiday treat that’s great for gluten-free diets too!
*full disclosure: World Kitchen LLC gifted me a Cook N’ Carry Pan and a gift card. The opinions and ideas expressed are my own. The World Kitchen LLC giveaway is now closed.
Chocolate Pumpkin Mochi Cake
Ingredients:
1 pound (16 oz box) mochiko
2 cups sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
pinch of salt
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
1 (12 ounce) can evaporated milk
4 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
3/4 cup pumpkin
1/4 cup Cocoa Powder
1/2 cup chocolate chips
Instructions:
Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Prep a 9×13 pan with non-stick spray.
Step 2: In a bowl whisk together the mochiko, sugar, baking powder and salt.
Step 3: Stir in the butter, evaporated milk, eggs, and vanilla.
Step 4: Pour 1/3 of the batter into a separate small bowl and stir in the pumpkin.
Step 5: To the rest of the batter in the larger bowl, stir in the cocoa powder and the chocolate chips.
Step 6: Set aside 1 cup of the chocolate batter, and pour the rest into the prepped pan. Spread evenly.
Step 7: Pour the pumpkin mixture on top of the chocolate batter, spreading evenly over the top.
Step 8: Drop the remaining cup of chocolate batter in dollops on top of the pumpkin. To make the swirls: use a butter knife to make figure 8s, swirling the pumpkin and chocolate dollops together.
Step 9: Bake for 40-45 minutes depending on your oven, until done. Let cool completly in the pan. Cut into squares to serve.
I like to bring my favorite chocolate cupcakes with chocolate ganache frosting.
I’m the brownie queen – if I don’t bring brownies, I don’t get to go to the party. haha. My favorite is peanut butter swirl.
I made cake pops for a birthday party where it would have been difficult to slice and serve an actual cake. They’re so travel ready and require so little fuss that I’ve never gone back!
I like bringing a good dip to potlucks!
One can never have enough of this size pan. This is the size I use the most and I cook a lot and bake a lot once the temps start to dip.
love making pistachio cookies for friends!
I like bringing cupcakes!
I never attend a potluck without some bacon wrapped dates. If I feel like indulging my lovely friends with a sinfully sweet treat, I will also bring Chocolate caramel toffee crack(ers). Both are always crowd favorites – I can never make too much!
I like to keep it simple and make simple chocolate cupcakes. I would love to try out this pumpkin mochi cake though! Maybe put a cupcake spin on it too! Thanks for the recipe!
Love sharing rocky road or Christmas crack!
I love sharing my peanut butter cup cookies. Thank you for this recipe, looking forward to making it this weekend. 😀
Anything that I bake from JustJenn becomes a must have to share with friends. Past fav’s have included the snicker bar cookies, pumpkin mochi cake, mochi brownies, nutella cookies and blueberry mochi cake. I am going to this chocolate pumpkin mochi cake next!
I like making chocolate cheesecake cupcakes, with an oreo cookie bottom. My coworkers loved it when I brought it for our xmas potluck.
Ranch pretzels

My favorite treat to bring to potlucks is Broken Glass Jello. I’ll definitely have to try this Chocolate Pumpkin Mochi Cake for my next potluck. Thanks for sharing, Jenn!
I have been bringing blueberry mochi cake a lot lately — it’s easy & always a hit!
Can’t wait to try this pumpkin chocolate cake — the kids will be SO excited as they have been asking for pumpkin mochi!

i make your blueberry mochi cake very often. i JUST made this recipe and put it in the oven…can’t wait to try it! btw, you forgot to include when to mix in the melted butter in this recipe. 🙂
I just LOVE baking during the holiday season! This pan would be perfect for my butterscotch bars – a family tradition 🙂
Jell-o cookies! The colors get everyone’s attention.
all types of cupcakes!
i need a covered cake pan so bad! i hope i win!
I just love to bring the Hello Kitty Sushi Head to my Potlucks! I always get many requests to bring that to the Potlucks that I attend. And when I bring this particular dish to the Potluck, no one wants to eat it because they don’t want to ruin it! They do take a lot of pictures!
Carrot cake would be perfect in this pan for a potluck
Those look fabulous!
Any dessert!
When I want to take a meal to someone I make an Italian Casserole from a recipe I found in the La Leche League cookbook. It’s full of vegetables and cheese, and it’s yummy.
Love to give magic bars to family and friends
I make elephant balls, it is just a peanut butter/powdered sugar ball covered in chocolate, don’t know why they are called that, but it is so much more fun to say elephant balls…so I will go with that…I only make them at Christmas to give away or else I eat them all!!!
Mmm… I’m going to try it today for bringing to the office tomorrow (Halloween)! Looks awesome!
Looks also like it’s based on the standard butter mocha recipe (I’m on Oahu) and I make mine with coconut milk instead of evaporated so I’m going to switch it up a little.
Glad to find your blog. I’m following you now too.
