Cream Cheese Pumpkin Cake

F'or Cake: 

1 box spice cake mix with pudding in the mix (Betty Crocker or other brands)

3 eggs

1 cup canned pumpkin

3/4 cup water

1/2 cup vegetable oil

1/3 cup sugar

2 tsp pumpkin pie spice

For Cream Cheese Filling:

1 (8 oz) pkg cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup butter (1 stick) 

3 cups powdered sugar

Chocolate Chips, Optional (I used about 1/2 cup)

1.  Preheat oven to 350℉. Prepare a 9x13 inch  baking pan with non-stick spray.

2.  In a large bowl, mix together the cake mix, pumpkin, eggs, water, oil, sugar and pumpkin pie spice. Pour into the prepared pan.

3.  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.

4.  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 30-35 minutes.
When done, allow the cake to almost completely cool. If you cut before it cools, the cake will be too soft.

*I also think pecans sprinkled on top would be good.
