Ingredients
1 package (18.25 oz) yellow cake mix.
4 eggs
16 tbsp melted butter
1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
1 can (15 oz) pumpkin
1 tsp vanilla
16 oz powdered sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp nutmeg
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Combine cake mix, 1 egg, 8 tbsp melted butter and mix well.
Pat the mixture into the bottom of a lightly greased 13 x 9 inch baking pan.
In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and pumpkin until smooth.
Add remaining eggs, vanilla and butter and beat together.
Add powdered sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and mix well.
Spread pumpkin mixture over cake batter and bake 40 to 50 minutes.
Make sure not to overbake as the center should be a little gooey.
Serve with whipped cream.
Notes
I found a little extra cinnamon and nutmeg is a good idea. Also, there are some variations:
Pineapple: Substitute a drained 20 oz can of crushed pineapple for the pumpkin.
Banana: Substitute 2 ripe bananas for the pumpkin.
Peanut Butter: Substitute 1 cup creamy peanut butter for the pumpkin.
