My family loves this recipe! I have made it for several functions and there is never a crumb left. I took it to work one day and one of the guys called it "magical"! LOL Thank you for sharing this amazing cake Paula Deen. Cheryl

I used the recipe for the filling and poured it into a ready made deep dish pie crust, baked at 350 for 45 minutes and it was delish! I love your recipes. I will now make pumpkin pie every year for thanksgiving. Thank you.

My friend made this dessert for a group gathering. We loved it so much that my 9 yr old made it for Thanksgiving. It was a huge hit! I have a feeling this will replace our pumpkin pie from now on.

My brother has been making this cake for us for years now, and it is the most requested holiday dessert in our family! I started making it this Holiday season, and a couple friends almost kissed me when they tasted it! We love you, Paula!!!

This is the #1 requested dessert in my family for the last few years. It is no longer Thanksgiving without this yummy dessert. This is by far the best dessert of Thanksgiving. Thanks Paula for helping create a family tradition that has been and will be apart of our family for years to come! Happy Thanksgiving "LETS EAT SOME CAKE!"

I can't wait to make this tomorrow. I had it at a meeting last week and loved, loved it. It is to die for. Thanks for having it on the web site, now I don't have to bother my friend.

By Carol Orndorff on November 23, 2011

This has become a tradition in my house this time of year. I made the mistake of making it one year as an experiment and now would be in BIG trouble if I decided to leave it off the menu! Huge hit!

I just went to the Food Network website, and it says a teaspoon of Nutmeg. It did say the same 13x9 cake pan too. I am guessing a spring foam pan works, cause it looks like a cheesecake above. Love this cake, I make it for Thanksgiving and it is a huge favorite in our home. Enjoy your Thanksgiving.

I loe this recipe, it has been a hit every time I make it. However, I have found it very successful when baked in a bundt pan as opposed to a spring form! Love it!

By Holly Orvin on November 21, 2011

Hi, Paula thanks for putting this on your site I might try this for Thanksgiving this year cause I make pumpkin pies every year and I just want to try something new and when I saw this pumpkin gooey cake recipe thought I woild give this a try so I hope it turns out great the fresher the ingerdients the better it will turn out love cooking, my friend told me about when she made it for a party one day and before she could get a piece it was all gone well can't wait to try this recipe for thanksgiving this year

I am so happy I could find the recipe on your site. I have made it several times but lost mine. I think I would have made it right from memory but wanted to be sure. This one is for my husbands Thanksgiving office party.My grangchildren call it heart attack pumpkin cake. They love it. I am from New Orleans and use all the butter and sugar also. Some things you just cannot change make healthier and have them taste the same. I was in Savannah last year and visited your resturant and enjoyed it very much. Thanks for all you do to help the food drives. leanaa

how much nutmeg?

By cheryl mclouth on November 19, 2011

I would like to use a round pan for this cake. Can I use a spring form pan? If so,how long do I bake in oven?

By Denise on November 16, 2011

To Joe Comer III I had the same question. I've made this before and it's great but this year my husband's birthday falls on Thanksgiving so I need this cake to look like it does in the picture. I plan on using a spring form pan. This is how they got their beautiful result. Good Cooking Margie

Hi Paula, just wanted to let you know how much I've enjoyed making your pumpkin gooey butter cake and it has been a big hit with family and friends. My family always want me to make this at our family gatherings. I don't make pumpkin pie anymore, this is so much better. Thank you for Sharing your recipe with us I just love it.
