1/2 tsp nutmeg
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
In another bowl, beat the softened butter and sugars until creamy. Add eggs one at a time, then mix in pumpkin puree and vanilla extract.

Pour batter into prepared pans and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Cool in pans for 10 minutes before transferring to wire racks. Once cool, frost between layers and on top with cream cheese frosting.
