20Sep2013Pumpkin Butter Cake27K226 Yeah. So this is a very important public service announcement before you make this Pumpkin Butter Cake: don’t do it unless you are taking it somewhere. Feel free to bring it with you to a family party, church potluck, or even Thanksgiving dinner. Don’t even think about making it just to have it sit on top of your stove with a fork in the pan. I’m serious! One bite. One bite is all it takes and you will be HOOKED. This is one of the complete an utter indulgent recipes. You know, the ones where you ignore the two sticks of melted butter, cream cheese, and the entire pound BOX of powdered sugar and just go for the pumpkin-flavored glory. And we haven’t even talked about the chewy cake mix crust. It is guaranteed to be GONE in minutes wherever you do take it – and if you go against my VERY WISE advise up there and make it for your family, you can split it between two 9×9 baking pans just the same. Share the love (because you won’t be able to restrain yourself). Happy fall! š Pumpkin Butter Cake For the crust: 1 box yellow cake mix 1/2 cup (1 stick) melted butter 1 egg, slightly beaten For the filling: 15 oz can pumpkin (NOT pumpkin pie filling) 8 oz cream cheese, softened 1/2 cup (1 stick) melted butter 3 eggs 1 teaspoon vanilla 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice 1 lb box powdered sugar whipped cream cute fall sprinkles Mix crust ingredients in a medium bowl until well combined. Spray a 9×13 baking dish with nonstick spray and press crust into the bottom evenly. Beat pumpkin, cream cheese, melted butter, and eggs until creamy. Add vanilla and pumpkin pie spice. Gradually add powdered sugar, beat well. Spread filling over crust. Bake at 350 degrees for 50-55 minutes (center will still be slightly giggly). …ok forget what I said. Just make it now.

Amy saysOctober 19, 2013 at 7:42 pmSo….this is Paula Deen's recipe for Pumpkin Gooey Butter Cake.Reply
Kelly Miller saysJanuary 18, 2014 at 12:28 amActually Amy, I found this recipe in an old cooking magazine I picked up from Goodwill. I did check out Paula Deen's recipe on the Food Network website, and it is very similar with small differences in the spices used.Reply
