Pumpkin Spice Gooey Cake

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven

1. Preheat to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.A well-greased pan ensures clean slices and prevents sticking, especially since the pumpkin layer stays soft.

2. Prepare Cake Layer

1. In a bowl, combine yellow cake mix, 1 egg, and melted butter. Mix until crumbly.The mixture should resemble moist, soft crumbs that press together easily—this creates a sturdy yet tender base.
2. Press half into the prepared pan to form the base.Spread evenly to ensure the pumpkin layer sits smoothly on top without sinking in unevenly.
