Food & Fun - By The Rachael Ray Staff on
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
Preparation

Preheat oven to 350F. 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 confectioners 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 dont bake past that point!). Remove from oven and allow to cool completely before cutting into squares.
