Spice Cake Mix

Pumpkin Spice Gooey Butter Cake is super simple to make and has all the flavors of fall. It’s just like the popular Pumpkin Gooey Butter Cakes and all those other gooey butter cakes you see all over Pinterest and that Paula Deen made so famous, except a box of spice cake mix is used instead of the usual yellow cake mix. When it comes to pumpkin, I don’t think you can have too much cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger.

Quick and Easy Recipe

The box of spice cake mix is mixed with an egg and a stick of melted butter to make a thick dough that is pressed in the bottom of a 9×13-inch pan. What I love most about this recipe, besides the incredible taste, is the crust layer doesn’t need to be prebaked. You just mix together the batter, pour it on top of the crust dough and bake it all together.

Recipe Tips

  • Be sure not to overbake this cake. It should still be giggly in the middle when you remove it from the oven. Once cooled completely, it will cut into perfect squares.
  • You can substitute pumpkin pie spice for the cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.

Storage

You’ll want to keep it refrigerated since it has cream cheese in it. Wrapped with plastic wrap, it will keep for 4 to 5 days. I like the way it tastes straight from the fridge. Such an amazing creamy texture! Place a dollop of whip cream on top and get ready to lick your lips!

Can also be frozen for up to 2 months.

How To Serve

Serve at room temperature or chilled with a dollop of whipped cream. Makes a great Thanksgiving dessert.

Ingredients

Crust

Filling

Equipment 9x13-inch Baking Pan, Hand-held electric mixer

Steps

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 350 degrees and lightly grease a 9X13-inch baking pan.

  2. 2

    In a large bowl, stir together cake mix, egg, and melted butter until mixed well. Press mixture into bottom of prepared pan and set aside.

  3. 3

    Using an electric mixer, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add pumpkin and beat until blended.

  4. 4

    Beat in eggs one at a time.

  5. 5

    Add vanilla, melted butter, confectioners' sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves and beat to combine.

  6. 6

    Pour batter into prepared pan over bottom layer.

  7. 7

    Place in oven and bake for 50 minutes. Let cool before slicing. I like to refrigerate it.

Notes

Be sure to use Pumpkin puree and NOT pumpkin pie filling.

Confectioners' sugar tends to clump together. It will mix into the batter better if you sift it first to remove any lumps.

Leftovers should be refrigerated.
