Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish. In a mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, 1 egg, melted butter, pumpkin puree, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth, then press into the bottom of the baking dish.
  2. In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese until fluffy. Add 2 eggs, vanilla extract, pumpkin puree, melted butter, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. Mix well, then gradually sift in powdered sugar until creamy. Pour this mixture over the cake base.
  3. Bake for 40-45 minutes until the edges are set and the center is slightly gooey. Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan.
  4. For the frosting, blend together softened butter, cream cheese, and brown sugar until fluffy. Gradually add powdered sugar, mixing until smooth and creamy.
  5. Once the cake is cool, frost it evenly with cream cheese frosting using a spatula. Your Pumpkin Spice Gooey Cake is ready to serve!
