Pumpkin Gooey Butter Cake Recipe
Description
This recipe starts by mixing yellow cake mix with egg and melted butter, then pressing it evenly into a greased 9x13 pan to form the bottom crust. The filling is prepared by beating softened cream cheese with canned pumpkin, eggs, vanilla extract, melted butter, powdered sugar, and warm spices including cinnamon and nutmeg. Once combined, the filling is poured over the cake base.
Baked at 350°F for 40 to 45 minutes, the cake achieves a golden crust with a luscious, gooey layer on top. Cooling completely is important to allow the filling to set properly before serving. Topping with whipped cream enhances the creamy texture and balances sweetness.
The spice blend and pumpkin flavor make this dessert suitable for autumn menus, complementing gatherings and celebrations. Its dense, moist quality differs from lighter pumpkin cakes or pies. Portioning into squares provides convenient serving sizes for sharing.
