The pumpkin version of this recipe is wonderful and a nice Thanksgiving dessert. It's from Paula Deen of Paula's Home Cooking on the Food Network.

Gooey Butter Cakes
Recipe From: The Lady and Sons – “Just Desserts”

Cake
1-18.25 oz box yellow cake mix
1-Egg
½-Cup (1 stick) butter, melted

Filling
1-8 oz package cream cheese, softened
2-Eggs
1-Teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract
1-16 oz box confectioners’ sugar
½-Cup (1 stick) butter, melted.

Preheat oven to 350°. Lightly grease a 13 x 9 x 2 inch-baking pan.
In the bowl of an electric mixer, combine cake mix, egg, and butter and mix well. Pat into the bottom of prepared pan and set aside. Still using an electric mixer, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add eggs and vanilla. Dump in confectioners’ sugar and beat well. Reduce speed of mixer and slowly pour in butter. Mix well. Pour filling onto cake mixture and spread evenly. Bake for 40-50 minutes. Don’t be afraid to make a judgment call on the cooking time, because oven temperatures can vary. You want the center to be a little gooey, so don’t bake it past that point! Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely. Cut into squares. Just remember these wonderful little cakes are very, very rich and a little will go a long way even for little piggies like me.

Variations –

Pumpkin Gooey – This variation has to be at the top of my list, especially around Thanksgiving. For the cake part – I sometimes use a spice cake mix. I have even used a chocolate cake mix, but I think my favorite is the basic yellow cake mix. Follow the original recipe, adding a 15 oz can of pumpkin pie filling and an extra egg to the cream cheese filling. Bake as usual, remove from oven, and allow to cool. Cut into squares and top each square with a pecan half. Serve with a dollop of whipped cream.

Carrot Cake Gooey – Use a spice cake mix, and add 1 cup chopped nuts and 1 ½ cups finely grated carrots to the cream cheese filling. Proceed as directed above.

Peanut Butter Gooey – Use a chocolate cake mix. Add 1-cup creamy peanut butter and an extra egg to cream cheese filling. You can sprinkle the top of batter with 1 cup chopped peanuts if you like. Proceed as directed above.

Chocolate Chip Gooey – Use either yellow or chocolate cake mix. Sprinkle 1 cup chocolate chips and 1 cup chopped nuts on top of filling. Proceed as directed above.

Nutty Gooey – Use a yellow cake mix and add 1 cup chopped nuts to the cake mixture. Proceed as directed above.

Chippy Gooey – Stir 1 cup white chocolate chips, peanut butter chocolate chips, butterscotch morsels, Heath almond Toffee bits, or Heath Milk chocolate toffee bits into filling. Proceed as directed above.

I dont like pie so I am bringing a carrot cake for dessert to my cousins house and also a spinach artichoke dip.

Definitely making pumpkin pie. Probably buying a Chocolate Fudge Pie from Ukrop's (grocery store).

I'm also thinking of making a white chocolate raspberry cheesecake.

We're having apple, pumpkin, and cherry pies. I'm making a creampuff dessert that is a family favorite, I call it eclair cake because it reminds me of an eclair since the "crust" is basically made out of the same stuff. It's a pastry eclair/creampuff crust, then you make instant chocolate pudding mixed with cream cheese to spread on top of the (baked crust) and top with cool whip. It's simple and really really good. I might also make my marble cheesecake, I haven't decided yet because I have so many other things to make.

disney4us2002....is there somewhere online I can get that Alton Brown cheesecake recipe?

I'm making a pumpkin cheesecake and buying a Key Lime pie. My SIL is making an apple and cherry pie and bringing it, so we'll have plenty of variety.
