Ingredients
Cake
- 1 box yellow cake mix
- 1 cup water
- ⅓ cup butter softened
- 6 large eggs divided
- 15 ounces pumpkin puree
- 1 cup brown sugar packed
- 1 cup half and half
- 1 ½ tsp pumpkin pie spice
- ½ tsp salt
Frosting
- 8 ounces cream cheese softened
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 ½ cups heavy cream
- 1 tsp vanilla
Instructions
Cake
- Preheat oven to 350°F and spray a 9" x13" baking pan with non-stick cooking spray.
- Combine the butter, cake mix, water, and 3 eggs in a large mixing bowl. Whisk together until well combined and smooth.
- Pour batter into prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, half and half, 3 eggs, pumpkin pie spice, and salt.
- Pour the pumpkin mixture evenly over the cake batter and smooth it out.
- Bake for 50 - 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Remove from oven and allow to cool completely before frosting.
Frosting
- Beat the cream cheese in a large bowl until smooth.
- Add the powdered sugar and vanilla and beat until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream on high for 2-3 minutes. It should form peaks and have the consistency of whipped cream.
- Combine the whipped cream and cream cheese mixture and beat well.
- Spread the frosting evenly over the cooled cake.
Notes
- Store the cake in an airtight container (or with a top) in the refrigerator for up to five days then toss any leftovers.
- Move the pumpkin mixture all over the top of the cake mix to make it easier to cover the entire layer. If you pour it all in once place, it can be a pain to spread out.
- Let kids help make this pumpkin magic cake and make sure to point out that the cake layer started on the bottom and ended up in the middle. It’s always fun to point out the distinct layers and magic with kids!
