Description
Pumpkin Spice Gooey Cake is a cozy, fall-inspired dessert with a chewy cake base and a rich, spiced pumpkin topping. This warm, decadent treat is easy to make and perfect for holiday gatherings or a sweet autumn indulgence.
Ingredients
- 1 box yellow cake mix (dry mix only)
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup melted butter
- 1 (15 oz) can pumpkin purée
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 2 eggs
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- In a bowl, mix cake mix, melted butter, and 1 egg until combined into a dough. Press evenly into the bottom of the baking dish.
- In another bowl, beat together pumpkin purée, cream cheese, 2 eggs, powdered sugar, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla until smooth.
- Pour the pumpkin mixture over the base layer and spread evenly.
- Bake for 45–50 minutes until the edges are set but the center is still slightly jiggly.
- Cool slightly before serving. Serve warm or chilled with whipped cream or ice cream if desired.
Notes
- Use spice cake mix instead of yellow for extra fall flavor.
- Swirl caramel sauce on top before baking for added richness.
- Top with toasted pecans or a cinnamon sugar sprinkle for crunch.
- Store in fridge up to 4 days or freeze individual slices for later.
- Let cool to set more fully, or enjoy warm for gooey texture.
