Holiday Recipe Exchange: Pumpkin Butter Cakes

I am so excited about this Holiday Recipe Exchange because let’s face it; I am a big fan of butter.

It’s actually quite comical how much butter I store in my refrigerator and even more ridiculous how much butter I use for the recipes on My Baking Addiction.

I attended BlogHer Food in October and won a year’s supply of butter from Kerrygold. Needless to say, I was pretty thrilled, what could be better for a baker than a year’s supply of amazing Kerrygold Butter?

For this week’s Holiday Recipe Exchange I wanted to make something that truly showcased the flavor of this delectable Irish butter. So, I turned to Paula Deen and chose her recipe for Pumpkin Butter Cake. Really, who does butter better than Paula? This Pumpkin Butter Cake is simple, but the flavor is truly irresistible, it’s like a more delicious version of traditional pumpkin pie. Top this Pumpkin Butter Cake with whipped cream and chocolate curls and you’ll definitely show up the mundane pumpkin pie that always makes an appearance on Thanksgiving.

Do you have an affinity for high quality butter and cheese? If, so definitely keep reading because the gift basket from Kerrygold is quite stellar!

Yield: 24 servings

Print Recipe

Ingredients:

For the Cake:

1 (18 1/4-ounce) package yellow cake mix
1 egg
8 tablespoons butter, melted

For the Filling:

1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 (15-ounce) can pumpkin
3 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
8 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 (16-ounce) box powdered sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon nutmeg

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

2. Combine the cake mix, egg, and butter and mix well with an electric mixer. Pat the mixture into the bottom of a lightly greased 13 by 9-inch baking pan.

3. To make the filling: In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and pumpkin until smooth. Add the eggs, vanilla, and butter, and beat together. Next, add the powdered sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and mix well.

4. Spread pumpkin mixture over cake batter and bake for 40 to 50 minutes. Make sure not to overbake as the center should be a little gooey.

5. Serve with fresh whipped cream.
