Chocolate-Pumpkin Cake

The magic ingredient in this cake is grated raw pumpkin. Its color and flavor are indiscernible in the baked cake, but the pumpkin creates a moist texture. If preferred, the same amount of shredded carrot can be used instead of pumpkin. Store the cake in a sealed container at room temperature for up to a week.
