Steps:
- Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
- Combine cake mix, butter and one egg to form a soft dough.
- Spread it into the bottom of a greased 9x13-inch baking pan.
- Then mix the powdered sugar, cream cheese, pumpkin and one egg until smooth.
- Pour over top of the crust.
- Bake for 40-50 minutes until the edges start to turn a golden brown.
- Take them out and you can serve them warm, or let them cool off and serve them cold.
Tips:
- For a smooth and creamy texture, use a good quality chocolate that contains at least 70% cocoa solids.
- Make sure the butter and cream cheese are at room temperature before you start baking. This will help them to cream together smoothly.
- Don't overbeat the eggs. Overbeating can make the cake tough.
- Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help the frosting to set properly.
- If you don't have a piping bag, you can use a zip-top bag with the corner snipped off to frost the cake.
