Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Walnut Cake

This is an amazing fall recipe and I made it for work, as usual, and it was an absolute hit. Everyone loved it. It was moist and chocolaty  with the perfect amount of pumpkin.

I have made this recipe before I included the recipe in both posts.  I didn't have any pumpkin spice in the house so I made my own. Recipe below.
