Cake Batter Pumpkin Spice Squares

Here is a quick and easy dessert recipe to celebrate fall. It has the quintessential pumpkin spice flavour of the season and is topped with melted white chocolate. 

Ingredients

1 box of vanilla cake mix

1 Tbsp pumpkin pie spice
1/4 C pureed pumpkin
1/4 C table cream
1/4 C milk
1 egg
1/2 C of white chocolate chips

1 tsp vegetable oil

Empty cake mix into a large bowl and sift together with pumpkin pie spice. Add pumpkin puree, cream, milk and egg and stir until the mixture is smooth. Pour batter into a greased 8x8 cake dish/pan and bake at 350°F for approximately 40 min. The squares are finished when the edges are golden and crispy and the middle is still quite soft (they will harden as they set). Once the squares have cooled (in pan) for about 20 minute you can prepare the chocolate drizzle. In a small  glass bowl slowly melt white chocolate chips in microwave or over a double boiler, stirring regularly. Once melted it may be necessary to add a small amount of vegetable oil to thin the chocolate. The chocolate is the right consistency when you are able to drizzle it from a spoon in a thin stream. Add as much white chocolate drizzle as you would like and continue to cool in the pan until the chocolate has hardened.
