I made this for my co-workers, every one loved it. Very moist

I absolutely love this cake with a cup of coffee. Instead of using a 10in fluted tube pan, I used my mini bundt pan. So the cooking time for mine was shorter than 65mins, probably around 25-30mins. I just kept my eye on the cake until I thought it was done. Turned out so moist! The only thing I will change next time I make this recipe is, I didn't really care for that much melted chocolate in mine. I think I'll use a little less than 2 ounces of melted chocolate. With the chocolate chips I couldn't taste enough of the pumpkin.
