Description:
Chess Cake was a favorite of mine as a child. No one could bake like my grandmother! I finally found a good chess cake recipe, and now I've got a pumpkin variation for the Fall. YUMMY!!

Other:

Ingredients:

Time:

N/A

Difficulty:

Easy

Serving Size:

N/A

Cake crust:
1 box spice cake mix
1 egg (room temp)
8 Tbsp butter, melted
Pumpkin filling:
1 (8oz) package cream cheese, softened
1 (15oz) can pumpkin
3 eggs (room temp)
1 tsp vanilla
8 Tbsp butter, melted
1 (16oz) box powdered sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp nutmeg

Preparation:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Lightly grease 9 x 13 glass baking dish.

Instructions:

Combine cake mix, egg and butter and mix well. Pat the mixture into the bottom of your baking dish.
In a large bowl, combine pumpkin and cream cheese and beat well with electric mixer.
Beat in vanilla, eggs, butter, cinnamon and nutmeg until smoothe and well blended.
Beat in, one cup at a time, the powdered sugar and mix well.
Spread pumpkin mixture on top of cake mixture and bake for 40-50 minutes. Do NOT overbake - center should be on the soft side - it will settle during cooling.
Let cool completely. I like this best after it's chilled in the fridge overnight. Cut into squares and serve, chilled or room temp - your choice.

Re: Pumpkin Chess Cake

Enjoy! This ends up tasting like a cross between pumpkin pie and cheesecake. VERY sweet. A nice alternative at Thanksgiving for those who like pumpkin, but aren't the biggest fans of yet another pumpkin pie.
