THE BEST Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Sheet Cake
We are deep into pumpkin season! I love pumpkin cookies and pumpkin cupcakes but sometimes a slice of a classic sheet cake it just what I’m in the mood for. This pumpkin sheet cake is so good. The cake is light and super pumpkin-y and dotted with chocolate chips. And with that sweet cream cheese frosting… WOW! It’s really the perfect bite of fall. I brought this cake to a party and it was gobbled up almost before I could get a slice! I hope you love this Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Sheet Cake as much as I do!
Pumpkin Sheet Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting
Pumpkin desserts and cream cheese frosting is just the perfect pairing. I’m one of those people who make pumpkin desserts in the middle of summer because I just can’t let such a great flavor go to waste December-August! Pumpkin all year long!!! Okay, okay I know most of you don’t agree with that. I haven’t been able to spend too much time in the kitchen this season because little Stella has been keeping me busy!
Easy Pumpkin Sheet Cake
Sheet cakes are such a great desserts because they aren’t fussy to make and they serve a crowd! There’s nothing more silly than spending forever making a dessert and it only feeds 10 people! Lame! This cake can feed anywhere from 24-48 people depending on how big you slice the pieces. But let’s be honest, this Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Sheet Cake is so good you might not want to share!
The Trick to Pumpkin Desserts
Just like any pumpkin dessert, this cake actually tastes even better the next day! The flavors really develop given a little time and stand out more the next morning. So this is the perfect dessert to make the night before a party. This is why most people, including myself, make our pumpkin pies for Thanksgiving the day before Thanksgiving!
I’m really sad I don’t have a slice of this to nibble on while I write this post… I need more of this pumpkin cake in my life!

Thanks for the recipe. The content is next level.
My husband is absolutely hooked on these! If you love cakes, you have to try these.
This looks amazing! It actually reminds me of one of the desserts at Applebee’s, pretty sure it’s their Sizzlin’ Butter Pecan Blondie. I just saw it on http://www.theapplebeesmenu.us
the other day. Yours looks even better though!
That cream cheese frosting and pumpkin combo is just perfect—it really captures the best flavors of fall! Making it a sheet cake that feeds a crowd is genius. It looks so moist and delicious, especially with all those chocolate chips. I bet a slice of this would be amazing served à la mode! It makes me think of all the different pumpkin-flavored treats they mix in during the season on the Cold Stone menu. I’m definitely saving this recipe!
