Pumpkin Spice Gooey Cake

A rich, gooey pumpkin spice cake combining a spiced cake crust with a luscious creamy pumpkin filling that is perfect for fall.

  • Total Time: 75 minutes
  • Yield: 12 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 yellow cake mix
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 8 tablespoons salted butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 large egg
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 4 tablespoons salted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
  • 4 1/3 cups powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
  2. For the crust, mix together the yellow cake mix and pumpkin pie spice.
  3. Add the softened butter and 2 eggs and mix until a stiff, crumbly batter forms.
  4. Press the crust mixture into an ungreased 9×13 inch baking pan.
  5. For the filling, in a separate bowl, mix together 1 egg, softened cream cheese, softened butter, and pumpkin puree.
  6. Gradually add the powdered sugar to the filling mixture, mixing well between each addition.
  7. Spread the filling evenly over the crust layer.
  8. Bake at 350°F for about 1 hour until a toothpick comes out barely gooey.
  9. Let cool for 15 to 20 minutes, then sprinkle powdered sugar on top before serving.

Notes

Do not overbake to maintain the gooey texture. Use softened ingredients for best mixing. Sprinkle powdered sugar just before serving for a pretty finish.
