Ingredients
Crust:
Nonstick cooking spray, for the pan
One 15.25-ounce box spice cake mix
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter, melted and cooled
Filling:
One 8-ounce package cream cheese, at room temperature
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
One 15-ounce can pumpkin puree
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
3 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
Sweetened whipped cream, for serving
Directions
- For the crust: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 13-by-9-inch glass baking dish with cooking spray. Combine the cake mix, eggs and vanilla in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Beat on medium speed until smooth, about 1 minute. Add the butter and mix just until combined. Spread the mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish.
- For the filling: Beat the cream cheese in a clean mixer bowl with the paddle until light and smooth, scraping the sides occasionally, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the eggs, pumpkin pie spice and vanilla and beat until smooth. Add the pumpkin and butter and beat until smooth. Add the confectioners' sugar and beat on low speed to incorporate, and then beat on medium until light and smooth, about 1 minute. Pour over the cake layer and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake until the edges are puffed and golden brown and the center is just set, about 40 minutes. Let cool. Cut into squares and serve topped with whipped cream.
