"Tasting Table recipe developer Hayley MacLean loves how the cake combines multiple desserts into one. "This treat is like a slice of cake, a cookie, and a bar all in one," she says. Hence the name, the cake has a custardy, gooey center that tastes incredibly luscious. The earthy pumpkin adds depth to the buttery cake, making the treat the perfect nightcap or midnight snack."
"To make your own gooey butter pumpkin cake, mix the cake mix with an egg and melted butter, and add the batter to a baking dish. Mix the pumpkin puree with cream cheese, eggs, vanilla, and butter before stirring in powdered sugar and pumpkin pie spice. Once the ingredients are well-combined, spread the pumpkin mix atop the cake batter and bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 40 minutes."
"The recipe calls for yellow packaged cake mix, but you can go with any flavor you like. White and yellow cakes allow the pumpkin puree and spice to stand out; however, different varieties complement the squash wonderfully. Either gingerbread or spiced cake mix will enhance the pumpkin-flavored gooey butter cake. The extra spices give the cake a headier finish, perfect for people who like to add an extra dash of cinnamon or nutmeg to their desserts."
Pumpkin gooey butter cake pairs a dense boxed cake mix base with a creamy pumpkin and cream cheese custard topping to produce a gooey, custardy center. The base is made by combining cake mix with an egg and melted butter and pressing the batter into a baking dish. The topping blends canned pumpkin puree with cream cheese, eggs, vanilla, butter, powdered sugar, and pumpkin pie spice, which is spread over the base and baked at 350°F for about 40 minutes. White or yellow cake mix highlights the pumpkin, while spiced or chocolate mixes add complementary flavors.
