1 teaspoon baking powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract or kahlua
1 can (16 ounce size) chocolate syrup
Frosting

1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1 cup sugar

directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour a 13 by 9 cake pan.
Cake: Cream together the butter and sugar with a mixer until fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
In another bowl, sift the flour, baking powder, and salt together. Add to creamed egg mixture, continuing to beat.
Add vanilla and chocolate syrup to batter and mix well. Pour into prepared pan and bake for 25 to 30 minutes. Just before cake is done, prepare frosting.
Frosting: Put butter, chocolate chips, sugar and evaporated milk in a saucepan over medium heat and bring to a boil. Stirring ingredients together, boil for 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla and nuts. Pour over warm cake.

Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.
Keeping a can of frozen orange juice concentrate in the freezer means you can make more than just orange juice. Try it in a variety of orange-flavored recipes.
