Was this not a picture postcard awesome day? It just amazes me how we prayed for beautfiul weather for our sale, and it was. God is so very good!….We sold lots of cakes and casseroles and have been home making more cakes for tomorrow. The Paula Deen Pumpkin Gooey Butter cake was a hit, so am going to put it on my blog. You will love it. It is going to take the place of pumpkin pie for Turkey Day at the Cox household.
Pumpkin Gooey Butter Cake
Cake:
1 Duncan Hines yellow cake mix
1 egg
8 tablespoons butter, melted
Filling
1 15 oz can of pumpkin
1 8 oz package of cream cheese, softened
3 eggs
1 teas vanilla
8 tablespoons butter, melted
1 16 oz ounce box of powdered sugar
1 teas cinnamon
1 teas nutmeg
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
To make the cake, combine all of the ingredients and mix well. Pat the mixture into a lightly greased 13,9 pan. (I used 3 8″ round pans)
Prepare filline:
In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and pumpkin until smooth. Add the eggs, vanilla and butter and beat together.
Next, add the powdered sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and mix well.
Spread pumpkin mixture over cake batter and bake for 40 to 50 min. (this will vary if you use the different size pans. probably about 30 min is all it will take, maybe 35). Make sure not to over bak as the center should be a little gooey.
Serve with whipped cream.
