Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 box Spice Cake Mix
  • 3 large eggs, (room temperature)
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie mix)
  • ¾ cup (177g) water
  • ½ cup (112g) vegetable oil
  • 1/3 cup (75g) granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, (room temperature)
  • 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, (melted)
  • 3 cups (375g) confectioners sugar
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Prepare a 9x13 baking pan with non-stick spray or utilizing the butter & flour method.
  • Mix together the spice cake mix, pumpkin, eggs, water, oil, sugar, and pumpkin pie spice in a large bowl. Pour batter into the prepared pan. Set aside.
  • In another bowl, mix the cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Add in the melted butter and powdered sugar and mix until well combined.
  • Place the cream cheese into a piping bag. Pipe the cream cheese mixture on top of the cake mixture. Swirl a knife through the cream cheese. (You can also dollop the cream cheese on top instead of piping)
  • Sprinkle chocolate chips on top and bake for 40-50 minutes or until an inserted toothpick is removed mostly clean. (A completely clean toothpick could mean your cake is overbaked)
  • Serve warm with ice cream. (optional)
