Pumpkin Ooey Gooey Butter Cake
 Pumpkin Ooey Gooey Butter Cake It’s that time of year when the colors start to change and we all start thinking about apple and pumpkin recipes. I decided to start September out right with a new Ooey Gooey Butter Cake this time made with pumpkin. I hope you love it as much as we did. You start out with a cake mix bottom, then a pumpkin cream cheese topping, topped off with whipped cream and toffee bits! You can put this together in less than 15 minutes and it bakes in a little over an hour depending on your oven. This kind of cake is better at room temperature and it does need to be refrigerated. Be sure to take it out of the refrigerator at least 30 minutes before serving. Sometimes because of the long baking times of these cakes I get lots of questions about them. I start checking them at about 50 minutes into the baking time. This one baked for 1 hour and 10 minutes in my oven. All ovens are different and baking times can be different from one oven to another. A tester will pull out clean when it is done. It will also be slightly puffed in the center. Here is a pic of when mine came out of the oven. They tend to also fall a bit in the center as they cool. See my other 8 Ooey Gooey Butter Cakes here. I love baking these cakes! They are always a hit when served. One thing that can help keep any kind of cake like this level is to use Wilton Bake Strips. To use them just wet them and wrap them around the outside of the pan. I love using them and they will make a difference in baking cakes if you use them. Today I forgot to use them until I got this cake in the oven so this cake was baked without them. It looks level now because it just came out of the oven but it will fall in the center slightly as it cools.
