Instructions

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9x13 baking pan with non-stick cooking spray.
• Add the 15.25 ounces Spice Cake Mix w/ Pudding in the mix, 3 large eggs, 1 cup canned 100% pure pumpkin, 3/4 cup water, 1/2 cup vegetable oil, 1/3 cup granulated sugar, and 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice in a large mixing bowl. Mix with a hand mixer or whisk until the cake mix is incorporated.
• Pour the batter in the prepared pan.
• In a separate microwave-safe bowl, melt the 1/2 cup unsalted butter in the microwave for 30 seconds.
• Beat the 8 ounces cream cheese in with the melted butter with a hand mixer.
• Add in the 3 cups powdered sugar and beat until well combined.
• Place spoonfuls of the cream cheese mixture all over the top of the cake mixture. Using a knife or skewer, gently swirl through the cream cheese.
• Sprinkle 1/2 cup milk chocolate chips on top.
• Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes or until done. Insert a toothpick in the center of the cake and if it's done it will come out clean.
• When done, allow the cake to almost completely cool. If you cut before it cools, the cake will be very soft.
