Ooey Gooey Pumpkin Cake

Today, my friends, we start our 

"Pumpkin Week"

with a recipe adapted from Paula Deen

by my Baking Buddy.

She calls it

"Ooey Gooey Pumpkin Cake"

with cinnamon whipping cream.

It is delicious!

 

Mix together:

1 package yellow cake mix

1 stick of melted butter

1 egg

Press into 9x13 baking dish

sprayed with cooking spray.

To make the filling

Mix:

8oz. package of softened cream cheese

15oz. can of packed pumpkin

Add:

3 eggs

1 tsp. vanilla

1 stick of melted butter

Beat until smooth. 

Add:

1 box of confectioners' sugar

(do this in three additions and pulse the mixer 

so you don't wind up wearing it)

Add Spices:

1 tsp cinnamon

1 tsp nutmeg

1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice

Mix until smooth.

Pour the mixture over your cake mix crust.

Bake:

320 degrees (convection)

350 degrees (conventional)

45-50 minutes

(until just the middle jiggles slightly)

Let it cool on a wire rack to room temperature.

Serve with a dollop of fresh whipped cream

(we like to add a little cinnamon to ours)
