Pumpkin Ooey Gooey Butter Cake Recipe

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Are you ready for a rich dessert that is packed with the perfect amount of fall flavor?? Then, be sure to check out this recipe for Paula Deen’s Pumpkin Ooey Gooey Butter Cake!! So yummy and delicious! And also, super easy to make!

I remember my mom making this when I was younger and I was absolutely obsessed with it! I love all things doughy and gooey, so if you’re like that too, you will love this cake! It’s one of the best pumpkin desserts you can make.

Like I’d much rather have cookie dough straight than the actual cookie baked itself. And please let me lick the beater after mixing up anything sweet! That’s my favorite part about baking.

And with this ooey gooey recipe, you don’t even have to worry about salmonella poisoning, because even after you bake it, it’s still supposed to be doughy and delicious!

Be sure to keep on reading to see just how to make this easy and yummy recipe. It’s absolutely perfect for fall and I know you will enjoy it too!

If you’re looking for a perfect dessert to go on your Thanksgiving table this year, be sure to check this recipe out. It’s a nice change up from the traditional pumpkin pie!

Gooey Pumpkin Butter Cake
I mean doesn’t this look so delicious?!

Ingredients Needed for Ooey Pumpkin Butter Cake:

  • For The Crust:
    • Yellow Cake Mix
    • 2 Large Eggs
    • 3/4 Cup Butter, Melted
  • For The Filling:
    • 8 oz Package Cream Cheese, Softened
    • 3 Large Eggs
    • 1 Can of Pumpkin Puree
    • 3 1/2 Cups Powdered Sugar
    • 1 Tsp Vanilla (I used my Homemade Vanilla Extract)
    • 1/4 Cup Butter, Melted and Cooled
    • 1 Tsp Cinnamon
    • 1 Tsp Nutmeg
Ingredients Needed for Ooey Pumpkin Butter Cake
All the ingredients you need!

Make The Crust

The first step of making this ooey pumpkin butter cake is to make the crust. Just combine all the ingredients listed above for the crust together in a large bowl of an electric mixer.

Mix the boxed yellow cake mix, eggs, and melted butter altogether with the paddle attachment. 

Ingredients Needed for Ooey Pumpkin Cake Crust
All the ingredients needed for the crust.

Spray a 9×13 baking dish with some cooking spray to prevent cake bas from sticking. Then, add the mixture to a greased 9×13 baking dish.

It will be very thick so just do the best you can to place it in the baking dish. This buttery crust is one of the highlights to this delicious and easy pumpkin dessert!

I love the taste of yellow cake anyway so when you have a cake mix crust made with it, you can’t beat it!

The crust all ready to go!

Making The Pumpkin Filling

After you have the crust made, now is the time to make the pumpkin filling! Just mix together all the ingredients for the filling using an electric mixer again.

Before Baking Cake
Ready to bake!

Once everything is mixed throughly together, pour the mixture over the crust in the greased baking dish.

Then, smooth the top over with a spatula and place in the preheated oven!

Before Baking Ooey Pumpkin Butter Cake
Look at all that delicious pumpkin filling!

After you’ve poured the pumpkin filling on top of the crust, you can now place it int the preheated oven and bake it. The original recipe calls to bake it for 40-45 minutes. But I actually baked it for a total of 50 minutes.

After Baking Ooey Pumpkin Butter Cake
After baking and ready to serve!

My husband isn’t really a fan of doughy things like I am, so I baked it an extra 5 minutes. He loved it, but honestly it was a little too done for me.

So just know your audience, who you’re baking for, and then go from there. I love it at just 40 minutes, but again, I love things that are doughy and gooey!

Pin For Later!

And keep in mind, this cake is very decadent so a little goes a long way! You can definitely cut the bars into smaller pieces and still have plenty. 

Enjoy These Gooey Pumpkin Bars

To serve these pumpkin gooey bars, you could always add a dollop of whipped cream on top! And to store the dessert bars, make sure they cool down to room temperature.

Then, keep them in an airtight container or covered with aluminum foil in the fridge for 3-5 days. I hope you love these pumpkin gooey butter bars just as much as I do! It is a favorite pumpkin dessert of mine and I make it year after year. It’s always been a huge hit for everyone. 

Let me know if you make these gooey butter cake bars too and how it turned out for you as well. I hope you love it just as much as I do! Which, I am sure you will because it really is a delicious fall dessert!

Also, be sure to follow me on Pinterest and save this idea pin on how to make the cake for future reference too:
