Cranberry- Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Cake

Wonderful fall cake...

1½ cups		(6 ounces) whole wheat flour (traditional or white whole wheat)
1 cup		(4 ounces) whole barley flour
1 tsp		baking powder
1 tsp		baking soda
¾ tsp		salt
1 tsp		ground cinnamon
1 tsp		ground ginger
½ tsp		ground nutmeg
¼ tsp		ground allspice
1¾ cups		packed light or dark brown sugar
½ cup		(1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
½ cup		vegetable oil
4 large		eggs
15 ounce		can pumpkin puree
1 cup		dried cranberries
1 cup		bittersweet or semi-sweet chocolate chips
		confectioner's sugar, for dusting

1	Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease and flour the pan or pans of your choice or line with parchment paper.
2	Whisk together flours, baking powder, baking soda, salt and spices in a medium bowl. Mix together the brown sugar, butter and oil in a large bowl until thick and mayonnaise-like consistency. Beat in eggs, one at a time, scraping sides and bottom of bowl once or twice to be sure everything is evenly combined. Stir in pumpkin, then dry ingredients. Mix until evenly moistened. Fold in cranberries and chocolate chips. Transfer batter to prepared pan.
3	Bake until the top springs back when lightly touched and the edges of the cake pull back from the pan, 30 to 35 minutes for layers, 35 to 40 minutes for the sheet cake. Remove from oven and cool on a rack. Dust the cooled cake with confectioner's sugar before serving.
