Pumpkin Spice Gooey Butter Cake, a scrumptious cake mix recipe

Take gooey butter cake to a whole new level with this yummy pumpkin dessert filled with ooey gooey, buttery, cream cheese goodness.

Pumpkin Spice Gooey Butter Cake is a spinoff of one of my favorite desserts. Growing up in St. Louis, gooey butter cake was really popular (I love St. Louis foods); in fact, you can find the best St. Louis gooey butter cake at Soulard Market.

There's just something really yummy about cream cheese mixed together with butter and powdered sugar. And then, of course, there's the chewy crust and the crackle-y top, probably my favorite things about this dessert.

To make this cake mix dessert recipe:

It really only takes a few ingredients to make Pumpkin Spice Gooey Butter Cake. You do want to make sure you have a yellow cake mix, which you'll use for the crust.

To make the crust, just mix together the cake mix, pumpkin pie spice, softened butter, and eggs. It'll form a stiff batter, which you'll smooth into an un-greased cake pan.

Then for the filling, just mix together an egg, softened cream cheese and butter, pumpkin purée, and powdered sugar. This will be a much thinner batter, which you'll pour over the crust in the cake pan.

Then just bake. Once it's baked and cooled just a bit, you'll sprinkle it with powdered sugar for the finished look.

Kitchen tools and items used to make this dessert:

• KitchenAid Stand Mixer – I use mine for pretty much everything I bake. It's quite handy with mixing both the crust and the cake for this recipe.
