I made this cake for my friend's birthday when his request was "something pumpkin" as he has a fall birthday. This cake is AMAZING. I made it as written, the only change was instead of 4 tsp of each spice, I used 4 tsp. of pumpkin spice (which includes all four spices)and it worked beautifully. I made the cake in two 9" pans so that cut the baking time down to 30 min. I made a honey spice buttercream frosting and that was literally the "icing on the cake!" I bake often and this is by far my favorite recipe. I've already been asked to make this for Thanksgiving and had several requests for the recipe. Definitely a hit!
