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.

This cake is so easy to make! I love that I can just throw all the ingredients in a bowl and mix them together.

I accidentally used all-purpose flour instead of cake flour. The cake still turned out okay, but it was a bit denser than I would have liked.

I had a hard time finding canned pumpkin, so I used fresh pumpkin puree instead. The cake turned out great!

This cake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still good.

I'm not a huge fan of pumpkin cake, but this one was really good. The cream cheese frosting was the perfect balance of sweet and tangy.
