Pumpkin Butter Cake recipe made with yellow cake mix, pumpkin puree, cream cheese, butter, egg, powdered sugar, and spices. An easy and festive fall dessert!

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! 🙂
