Pumpkin Earthquake Cake

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease your 9x13 baking dish with cooking spray. Then set to the side.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl add the cake mix, pumpkin puree, buttermilk eggs, oil and brown sugar. Mix well to combine.

Step 3

Then fold in the nuts. Then pour the cake batter into the baking dish.

Step 4

In a medium bowl you will add the softened cream cheese and mix for a minute or so to whip it till it is velvety.

Step 5

Next add the butter, spices, and a bit of the powdered sugar a little at a time. Scrape down the sides to ensure it fully incorporates.

Step 6

Then you will add dollops of the cream cheese mixtureover the cake. I used a cookie scoop.

Step 7

Use a knife or spatula and swirl the batter so the cream cheese swirls into the cake mix.

Step 8

Top with white chocolate chips and then bake for 40-45 minutes or until the cake is fully cooked. You can to stick a toothpick in the center of the cake and it comes out clean of wet batter.

Step 9

Once done place on a wire rack and allow the cake to cool for about an hour.

Step 10

Refrigerate any cake you do not eat right away.
