Time 55m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 12

½ cup butter
1 (15.25 ounce) package spice cake mix with pudding (such as Betty Crocker®)
4 eggs, at room temperature
1 cup pumpkin puree
½ cup milk
½ cup oil
½ tablespoon pumpkin spice
1 (8 ounce) package Neufchatel cheese, softened
2 cups powdered sugar
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup pumpkin spice baking morsels (such as Nestle® Toll House®)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  • Microwave butter in a bowl for 30 seconds and stir. Continue to microwave at 10-second intervals until butter is completely melted. Set aside to cool while you prepare the cake.
  • Combine cake mix, eggs, pumpkin, milk, oil, and pumpkin spice in a bowl. Beat with a hand mixer until batter is well combined. Pour into the greased baking dish.
  • Combine melted butter and Neufchatel cheese in a bowl; beat with a hand mixer until well incorporated, 3 to 4 minutes. Mix in powdered sugar, 1/2 cup at a time, until well combined. Add vanilla and salt; mix to combine. Drop spoonfuls of Neufchatel mixture onto the cake batter. Swirl mixture with a knife. Sprinkle pumpkin spice chips on top.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 38 to 42 minutes. Remove from the oven and transfer to a wire rack. Cool completely before removing from the baking dish.

I had trouble finding canned pumpkin, so I used fresh pumpkin puree instead. The cake still turned out great!

This cake is a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think it would be perfect for someone with a sweet tooth.

I'm not usually a fan of pumpkin cake, but this one changed my mind. It's the perfect balance of sweet and spicy, and the cream cheese frosting is to die for.

This cake is so easy to make and it always turns out perfectly. I love that I can use canned pumpkin, which makes it a great recipe for busy weeknights.
