How to Make Pumpkin Gooey Butter Cake Paula Deen

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Combine all cake ingredients in a large bowl and mix until well combined.
  3. Pat the cake batter evenly into a lightly greased 13x9 inch baking pan using your hands. Press firmly to create an even layer.
  4. In a separate large bowl, beat the cream cheese and pumpkin until completely smooth.
  5. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and melted butter.
  6. Gradually add the powdered sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg, mixing until well combined and smooth.
  7. Carefully pour the pumpkin filling evenly over the cake batter in the pan.
  8. Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is still slightly gooey. Do not overbake!
  9. Let cool completely before cutting and serving. Enjoy warm with fresh whipped cream or cinnamon ice cream!
