Description

A delicious combination of a cake mix crust, deliciously sweet and silky pumpkin filling and a dollop of whipped cream make this gooey butter cake a possible threat to the traditional pumpkin pie.


Ingredients 

Crust

  • 1 Package Yellow Cake Mix, or spice

  • 1 Large Eggs

  • 1/2 Cup Butter, melted

Filling

  • 8 Ounces Cream Cheese, softened

  • 1 Can Canned Pumpkin Puree, 15 ounces

  • 3 Large Eggs

  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla

  • 1/2 Cup Butter, melted and cooled

  • 3 ½ Cups Powdered Sugar, 16 ounces

  • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon

  • 1 teaspoon Nutmeg


Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.


  • In a bowl, combine the cake mix, egg, and butter and mix well with a handheld electric mixer. Pat the mixture into the bottom of a lightly greased 13 by 9-inch baking pan.


  • In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth.


  • Add the pumpkin and beat again until smooth.


  • Add the eggs, vanilla, and butter, and beat together. Next, add the powdered sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and mix well.


  • Spread pumpkin mixture over cake batter and bake for 40 to 45 minutes. Make sure not to over-bake as the center should be a little gooey.


  • Allow to cool for 1 hour.


  • Serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream


Enjoy!
