Chocolate Pumpkin Patch Cake

Patches of cheesecake hidden in a chocolate cake?  Could there be anything more yummy?  Miss Mia and I don't think so!  Then again, Miss Mia told me this cake was yummy as soon as I pulled the container of pumpkin puree from the fridge!

Chocolate Pumpkin Patch Cake

Cake Batter:
1 chocolate cake mix (I used milk chocolate)

2/3 cup sugar
1 cup pumpkin puree
1 tsp cinnamon
2 eggs
4 T flour
1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Preheat oven to 350.  Grease 9x13 cake pan.  Set aside.

Mix cake batter according to directions on box.  Add 1 tsp cinnamon.  Set aside.

In medium bowl, cream cream cheese, sugar, egg and pumpkin.  Add cinnamon, flour, vanilla extract, ginger and cloves.

Spread 2/3 of chocolate cake batter in bottom of cake pan.  Spread cheesecake batter by over chocolate cake batter.    Drop remaining chocolate cake batter by spoonfuls over cheesecake batter in pan.  Using a knife, swirl batters together.
