Cake
- 1 box (15.25 g) spice cake mix
- 3 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 cup (245 g) pure pumpkin
- ¾ cup (187.5 g) water
- ½ cup (109 g) vegetable oil
- ⅓ cup (67 g) granulated sugar

- ½ cup (1 stick / 113 g) unsalted butter, melted
- 3 cups (375 g) confectioners' sugar
Topping
- ½ cup (61 g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, mix together the spice cake mix, pumpkin, eggs, water, oil, sugar, and pumpkin pie spice. Pour batter into the prepared pan. Set aside.
- In another bowl, mix the cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Add in the melted butter and confectioners' sugar, mixing until well combined.
- Dollop the cream cheese mixture on top of the batter in the pan. Using a knife or skewer, gently swirl the dollops of cream cheese into the batter.
- Sprinkle chocolate chips evenly over the top. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until an inserted toothpick comes out with a few crumbs, but no wet batter.
- Once done, remove the dish from the oven and allow it to cool slightly. This dessert is best enjoyed warm.
