I LOVE pumpkin.Do you like pumpkin?
My sister, however, hates it. Or once hated it, that is, until she had this pumpkin recipe that can make a pumpkin lover out of a pumpkin hater. Today I share with you a favorite from Paula Dean called, “Pumpkin Gooey!”
I made it a couple Thanksgivings ago and my sister still brings it up multiple times a year. If you need a non-pumpkin-pie-ish dessert this week for Thanksgiving, let this be it. (Or the pumpkin ice cream pies.)
Pumpkin Gooey
Ingredients
Cake:
- 1 (18 1/4-ounce) package yellow cake mix
- 1 egg
- 8 tablespoons butter, melted
Filling:
- 1 (8-oz) package cream cheese, softened
- 1 (15-oz) can pumpkin
- 3 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 8 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 (16-oz) box powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon nutmeg
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Combine the cake mix, egg, and butter and mix well with an electric mixer. Pat the mixture into the bottom of a lightly greased 13 by 9-inch baking pan. For the filling, beat the cream cheese and pumpkin in a large bowl 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 minutes. Make sure not to overbake as the center should be a little gooey. So that whole “toothpick in the center” thing won’t work.
Throw a dollop of whipped cream on each serving and voila! The most gooey-est awesome pumpkinness ever. There is even a video of the pumpkin gooey in case you are wanting to see what it looks like.
Enjoy!! Oh ps. I didn’t count the calories on this one. Don’t bother. *snicker*
