How To Make pumpkin cream cheese snack cake

• Step 1
  In a small bowl, combine cream cheese, 1 egg yolk, 1/2 tsp vanilla, 3 tablespoons sugar, and a pinch of salt till just mixed. This should still be somewhat firm and not soupy. If too loose, place in fridge till needed.
• Step 2
  In a large bowl, stir together the flour, baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pumpkin pie spice. In a medium bowl, combine pumpkin purée, vegetable oil, 3 eggs, 1 1/4 cups sugar, and 1 tsp vanilla. Add wet ingredients to the dry, and mix till just combined.
• Step 3
  Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour a 9x9 square baking dish. Place the cream cheese mixture in a sandwich baggie, release all air, seal, and cut off a small triangle from one corner to use it as a piping bag.

  Step 4
  Put approximately half of the cake mixture in the pan and smooth out to the edges. Pipe all of the cream cheese mixture on top in rows, covering most of the cake, as shown in the picture. Dollop the rest of the cake over the cream cheese and spread it out gently to cover and reach the sides of the dish.
