PUMPKIN GOOEY BUTTER CAKES

CAKE:

1 18 1/4 oz pkg yellow cake mix

1 egg

8 TBLS butter, melted

FILLING:

1 8 oz pkg cream cheese, softened

1 15 oz can pumpkin

3 eggs

1 tsp vanilla

8 TBLS butter, melted

1 16 oz box powdered sugar

1 tsp cinnamon

1 tsp nutmeg

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

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.

To make the filling: In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and pumpkin 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 - 50 minutes. Make sure not to overbake as the center should be a little gooey. Serve with fresh whipped cream.
