Easy Pumpkin Earthquake Cake

By The Food Recipes
This easy Pumpkin Earthquake Cake is ideal for fall! It’s made with a moist, cake mix that’s been doctored up with canned pumpkin, pumpkin spice and more. There’s a cheese filling swirled into a pumpkin cake and chocolate chips sprinkled on top. I even have a chocolate spread earthquake cake recipe for the chocolate spread lovers too.

It’s going to be that point of the year that everything pumpkin are going to be exposure online. I can’t help myself and need everything fall to be happening now, so I’m getting to get a start on sharing some recipes. My family doesn’t seem to mind, so I’m sure you won’t either.

Does this pumpkin earthquake cake got to be refrigerated? Yes! Whenever there’s cheese involved, you would like to form sure it’s covered with wrapping and stored within the refrigerator.

Can I substitute the chocolate chips? Yes! you'll use semi-sweet, butterscotch, chocolate , etc rather than chocolate chips. Personally, i feel pumpkin earthquake cake with butterscotch chips sounds amazing.
