Best Pumpkin Cake Ever!!

Happy Thanksgiving first of all!!!

I am excited today because #1 it's Thanksgiving and I am with my family and #2 I have found my new favorite dessert. It's Paula Deen's recipe and after taking one bite of this divine creation, I am thinking about traveling to the south just to give Miss Paula a big ol' kiss on the cheek. So I decided to blog this because everyone needs to try this.... Here it is.
Enjoy!!!

Ingredients
For the cake:
1 18.25-ounce box yellow cake mix
1 egg
1/2 cup (1 stick) melted butter

For the filling:
1 8 ounce package cream cheese, softened
1 15 ounce can pumpkin pie filling
3 eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 16-ounce box confectioners’ sugar
1/2 cup (1 stick) melted butter

Yields: 20-24 small squares
Preparation

Preheat oven to 350°F. 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. Pour into the bottom of prepared pan and set aside.
In the mixer, beat cream cheese until smooth; add pumpkin pie filling, eggs and vanilla. Dump in confectioner’s sugar and beat well. Reduce speed of mixer and slowly pour in butter. Mix well. Pour filling on top of cake mixture and spread evenly. Bake 40-50 minutes (You want the center to be a little gooey; so don’t bake past that point!). Remove from oven and allow to cool completely before cutting into squares.

LOVE IT! Sounds so good, although now that I know the ingredients it will feel a lot more guilty to eat. Oh well! :)
