Print Recipe

A fall-inspired twist on the classic St. Louis gooey butter cake, combining a yellow cake mix base with a creamy pumpkin-spiced cream cheese topping for an ooey gooey, buttery dessert perfect for autumn snacking.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (18.25 ounce) package yellow cake mix
  • 4 eggs, divided
  • 16 tablespoons butter, melted, divided
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin spice
  • 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
  • 1 (15 oz) can pumpkin puree
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 1/2 cups powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine yellow cake mix, 1 egg, and 8 tablespoons melted butter. Mix well and press evenly into the bottom of a greased 9×13 inch baking pan to form the crust.
  3. In another bowl, beat together the remaining 3 eggs, softened cream cheese, pumpkin puree, vanilla extract, pumpkin spice, and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.
  4. Pour the cream cheese mixture over the crust and spread evenly.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes or until the top is set and lightly browned.
  6. Allow to cool completely before cutting into bars.

Notes

Using a boxed yellow cake mix as the base is the special shortcut that simplifies preparation while maintaining great texture. These bars are best served chilled or at room temperature and can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week.
