Pumpkin Spice Gooey Cake is a rich and moist fall dessert featuring a buttery cake base and a sweet, spiced pumpkin filling with a soft, custard-like center. It’s a perfect treat for autumn gatherings, holidays, or anytime you crave cozy pumpkin flavor.

Ingredients

  • 1 box yellow cake mix
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, melted
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 (15 oz) can pumpkin puree
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp pumpkin pie spice (or 1 tsp cinnamon, 1/2 tsp nutmeg, 1/4 tsp ginger, 1/4 tsp cloves)
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • Optional: whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. In a bowl, combine cake mix, 1 egg, and melted butter. Mix until it forms a dough and press evenly into the prepared pan.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat cream cheese and pumpkin puree until smooth.
  4. Add remaining 2 eggs, vanilla, pumpkin pie spice, and powdered sugar. Mix until well combined and creamy.
  5. Pour the pumpkin mixture over the crust and spread evenly.
  6. Bake for 40–45 minutes, until the edges are set but the center is still slightly jiggly.
  7. Let cool completely in the pan. Chill for a firmer texture, or serve warm for a gooier consistency.
  8. Top with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream if desired.

Notes

  • Use spice cake mix instead of yellow cake mix for extra autumn flavor.
  • Add chopped nuts like pecans or walnuts between the crust and filling for crunch.
  • Drizzle caramel sauce on top before serving for added richness.
  • Cool fully before slicing for cleaner servings.
  • Store in the fridge up to 4 days or freeze individual slices for later.
