Time 2h5m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 sugar pumpkin - seeded, peeled, and cut into cubes
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
cooking spray
½ cup sour cream
⅓ cup creme de cacao liqueur
¼ cup butter, softened
1 ⅓ cups brown sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
5 ounces chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
  • Toss pumpkin cubes, olive oil, and 1 teaspoon salt together in a bowl; spread onto a baking sheet.
  • Roast pumpkin in preheated oven for 30 minutes, increase heat to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C), and continue roasting until the pumpkin is tender, about 30 minutes more.
  • Cool pumpkin cubes completely. Trim away outer edges so you have only soft, mashable pumpkin remaining. Measure 2 cups of mashed pumpkin; reserve remainder for another use.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Prepare a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
  • Mash 2 cups pumpkin, sour cream, and creme de cacao together in a bowl with a potato masher until the mixture is relatively lump-free.
  • Beat butter and sugar together in a large bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy; add eggs one at a time, thoroughly beating each egg into the butter mixture before adding the next. Beat vanilla extract and the pumpkin mixture into the butter mixture with the last egg.
  • Mix flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda, baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt together in a separate bowl; stir into the pumpkin mixture. Fold chocolate chips through the resulting batter and pour into the prepared baking dish.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 50 minutes.
