# How to Make It:
01 -
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish. In a large mixing bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, egg, melted butter, pumpkin puree, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth. Press the mixture evenly into the prepared pan.
02 -
In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add the eggs, vanilla extract, pumpkin puree, melted butter, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. Mix until creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar and mix until smooth. Pour the filling over the cake base and spread evenly.
03 -
Place the cake in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes. The edges should be set while the center remains slightly gooey. Once baked, let cool completely in the pan.
04 -
In a large bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, butter, and brown sugar until fluffy. Gradually add the powdered sugar and mix until smooth. Stir in the vanilla extract.
05 -
Once the cake has cooled completely, spread the frosting generously over the top, covering the entire surface evenly.
# Additional Notes:
01 -
Let the cake cool completely before frosting to prevent the frosting from melting.

Adjust the level of spices in the filling to suit your taste preferences.
