Paula Dean's Pumpkin Gooey Butter Cake

from foodnetwork.com

Ingredients

• For the cake:
• 1 18.25-ounce box yellow cake mix
• 1 egg
• 1/2 cup (1 stick) melted butter
• For the filling:
• 1 8 ounce package cream cheese, softened
• 1 15 ounce can pumpkin pie filling
• 3 eggs
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 1 16-ounce box confectioners’ sugar
• 1/2 cup (1 stick) melted butter

Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 13 x 9 x 2 inch baking pan.

In the bowl of an electric mixer, combine cake mix, egg and butter, and mix well. Pour into the bottom of prepared pan and set aside.

In the mixer, beat cream cheese until smooth; add pumpkin pie filling, eggs and vanilla. Dump in confectioner’s sugar and beat well. Reduce speed of mixer and slowly pour in butter. Mix well. Pour filling on top of cake mixture and spread evenly. Bake 40-50 minutes (You want the center to be a little gooey; so don’t bake past that point!). Remove from oven and allow to cool completely before cutting into squares.

This is really freaking good! Jay loved it, next time I'll probably wont use a cake mix next time, and just make a cake from scratch, just because. You could also make some fresh whipped cream to go with it, I just used cool whip because Jay hates fresh whipped cream for some weird reason.
