Ooey Gooey Pumpkin Cake

October 26, 2010 By Amy @ Positively Splendid

Oh, Paula Deen. You have my number.

Last week, I was craving something pumpkin-y.
Something buttery.
Something ooey and gooey and downright decadent.

This, friends, is a recipe that is all that and then some. Make this today. You won’t regret it. 🙂


Ooey Gooey Pumpkin Cake
(adapted from Paula Deen)

For the cake:
1 (18 1/4-ounce) package yellow cake mix (I recommend Duncan Hines)
1 egg
8 tablespoons butter, melted

For the filling:
1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 (15-ounce) can pumpkin
3 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
8 tablespoons butter, melted
1 (16-ounce) box powdered sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
A generous pinch of salt (optional, but it really does make the flavors pop)

Preheat oven to 350.

To make the cake “crust”: Combine the cake mix, egg, and butter and mix well with an electric mixer. Pat the mixture into the bottom of a lightly greased 13 x 9-inch baking pan.

To make the filling: In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and pumpkin until smooth. Add the eggs, vanilla, and butter; beat together. Next, add the powdered sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt; mix well. Spread pumpkin mixture over cake batter and bake for approximately 50 minutes. 

Do not be tempted to overbake: the cake should still jiggle slightly on the top when it’s done. 

It isn’t called Ooey and Gooey for nothin’. 🙂

Enjoy!

    Apparently nobody has made this because there is no temp to set the oven. That would be helpful!

      When it says preheat oven to 350, you should assume that is the baking temp.
