Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Line the bottom of a tube pan with parchment paper. To do this, place the tube pan on parchment paper; then take a pencil to draw around the pan onto the paper. Also, pencil in the circle in the middle. Take scissors to cut out the liner.
In a large bowl, combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon and salt; set aside.
Using a stand mixer or hand mixer, beat eggs, white and brown sugars, pumpkin and cooking oil.
Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing in between each addition. Mix in vanilla at the end.
Coat chocolate chips with 1 Tablespoon flour; stir by hand into the pumpkin batter.
Pour cake batter into ungreased tube pan in which the bottom has been lined with parchment paper.
Bake for approximately 1 hour or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Let the pumpkin chocolate chip cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes on a wire rack.
Take a sharp knife and loosen around the edges; remove from pan. Take the same sharp knife to loosen the bottom. Very carefully remove the bottom of the tube pan.
Leave the parchment paper until it's cooled for approximately 30 minutes; then remove carefully.
