Welcome Fall 2017! I’m celebrating this beautiful and colorful season by baking a Torta Zucca & Cioccolato (Chocolate Pumpkin Cake). This cake has a super moist texture and a sweet, chocolatey and nutty flavor. It can be prepared by using fresh or canned pumpkin and any kind of nuts. Enjoy the first day of Fall with a hot tea and a slice of chocolate pumpkin cake.
Buon Autunno!
