Jens Recipe File


Pumpkin pie is not my favorite but I love this pumpkin dessert from Paula Dean. So Goooood you have to try it! I hope Every on has a Happy Thanksgiving!

Cake:
1 (18 1/4-ounce) package yellow cake mix
1 egg
8 tablespoons butter, melted
Filling:
1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 (15-ounce) can pumpkin
3 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
8 tablespoons butter, melted
1 (16-ounce) box powdered sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon nutmeg
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

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 to 50 minutes. Make sure not to overbake as the center should be a little gooey.

Serve with fresh whipped cream.

It sounds like this recipe has a cheesecake like texture, does it? Should we make it for Thanksgiving?

This sounds so good! I love anything with sugar, unfortunately, so I'm sure I would love it. I am a huge fan of pumpkin pie, or anything that has pumpkin in it.
