Is finding the perfect dessert for Thanksgiving difficult in your family? It is in mine... I always want to try SOMETHING unique and different which my Dad hates, My mom likes pie, but not the SAME kinds as my brother, who likes chocolate and my husband likes cheesecake ... You get the idea. SO my SOLUTION this is is... pumpkin gooey butter cake! if the name doesn't just make you want to cry, how about the idea that it is, for the most part, a mix between cheesecake, cake and pie.. SURE to please very palette! If you have never heard of gooey butter cake it is native to St. Louis and is made in many different flavors. Paula Deen makes them a lot and has made them more popular. This is a recipe based off of hers. I chose pumpkin cause its the obvious Thanksgiving choice but SUBSTITUTIONS are welcomed!
For the crust
1 box spiced cake mix
1 egg
8 Tablespoons melted butter
For the filling:
1 (8-ounce) brick of softened cream cheese
1 (15-ounce) can of pumpkin (not pumpkin pie filling)
3 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
8 Tablespoons melted butter
12-14 oz powdered sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
Mix together the cake mix, melted butter, and the egg. Press the crust mixture into a 9×13 pan coated with cooking spray. Blend together the cream cheese and pumpkin. Add the eggs, one at a time. Add the butter, vanilla, cinnamon and nutmeg. mix then slowly add in the powdered sugar. I do closer to 12, just taste it and see how sweet you want it. Mix until combined. Pour over crust and bake at 350 for 40 to 50 minutes. Make sure not to over bake, the center should be a little gooey. Cool slightly...Top with whipped cream and devour!
This is a great base recipe... SWITCH out the type of cake mix, SPICES and pumpkin for any other SIMILAR ingredient and prepare the SAME way... chocolate cake with peanut butter... yellow cake with and kind of fruit instead of pumpkin... the possibilities are endless!!
