Oh my gosh, this Chocolate Pumpkin Loaf came out so well! I’m so pleased! 😀 It’s super moist and chocolately, almost like chocolate cake, but with hints of cinnamon and nutmeg. It would make the perfect dessert after Thanksgiving dinner, especially with a warm cup of coffee or tea.

- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
