One of my favorite things about fall is enjoying all the pumpkin desserts that we make. Â I seriously never tire of eating anything with pumpkin in it. Â That’s why there are so many pumpkin recipes on our blog. This Gooey Pumpkin Cake recipe is among my favorites. Â I have several versions that I use with a yellow cake mix and pumpkin, but I found this one from Paula Dean a while ago and I have to say this one is the best! Â This cake is moist and I find it is best if you serve it a little warm with a big dallop of whip cream on top or Vanilla ice cream! Â YUMMM!!!
 
We are so excited to get our Pumpkin on this year, with this recipe and many more delicious pumpkin treats. Delicious pumpkin recipes such as this Gooey Pumpkin Cake are one of the many reasons we love this season so much.

- Mix in the cinnamon, nutmeg and powdered sugar.

Did anybody for real try it???
Do you store in the fridge? I accidentally forgot the 2nd stick of butter in the filling and used 1/3 less fat cream cheese and it was still delicious! Can do w/o all that butter anyway! 🙂 I love this recipe!
