Pumpkin Gooey Butter Cake recipe is always a classic and I swear it is better than pumpkin pie. It is even better than pumpkin pie and always a favorite in Fall and around the holidays. A simple crust made from a yellow cake mix get topped with the most luscious pumpkin filling of pumpkin, butter, cream cheese and powdered sugar. A sprinkle of powdered sugar and a dollop of whipped cream makes this cake a showstopper.
