This easy cake has a cream cheese swirl in it to perfectly compliment the pumpkin.  Top it off with some chocolate chips and it's a WOW fall dessert!

Ingredients

Cake Batter:

• 1 box Betty Crocker Spice Cake Mix
• 3 large eggs
• 1 cup pumpkin puree (canned)
• ¾ cup water
• ½ cup vegetable oil
• 1/3 cup granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice

Cream Cheese Filling:

• 8 ounces cream cheese (room temperature)
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted)
• 3 cups powdered sugar
• 1/2 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9x13 baking pan with non-stick spray.
• In a large bowl, mix together the cake mix, pumpkin, eggs, water, oil, sugar and pumpkin pie spice. Pour batter into the prepared pan.
• In another bowl, melt the butter and mix together with the room temperature cream cheese. Stir in the powdered sugar and mix until well combined.
• Place spoonfuls of the cream cheese mixture all over the top of the cake mixture. Using a knife, gently swirl through the cream cheese. Sprinkle chocolate chips on top and bake for 40-50 minutes or until center is set.
• Allow the cake to almost completely cool before cutting. If you cut before it cools, the cake will be very soft and won't cut cleanly.
• Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

If I just use the cake mix recipe could I make this as pumpkin spice muffins? Thank you - Riley1
