CRUST:

1 box yellow butter cake mix
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, softened
1 egg

Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease 13x9-inch pan.

Beat butter, egg, and cake mix together. The dough should be slightly dry, but will ball together in your hand.

Press the batter into the bottom of pan. Slightly dampen hands if dough sticks.

BATTER:

1 (8 oz.) pkg. cream cheese, softened
1 (15 oz.) can pumpkin
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, softened
1 egg
1 (1 lb.) box confectioners' sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
2 tsp. pumpkin pie spice
1 tsp. nutmeg
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. ground ginger
dash of ground clove

Cream together cream cheese, pumpkin and butter. Once smooth, add egg, vanilla, and spices. Beat mixture with confectioners' sugar (a little at a time) until all the ingredients are incorporated. Spread mix over cake dough in the pan.

Bake at 350°F for 40 to 45 minutes until edges are sturdy but center is still gooey. Let cool so it sets and top with confectioners' sugar and whipped cream to serve.
