Excellent! I prepared the recipe as written and used the frosting as well. The batter is wet, smooth and comes together nicely. Since I did not have a 15 x 10 x 1 inch pan, I used a 9x 13 pan. A sweet pumpkin-y scent emanated from the oven as the brownies baked up. They were done in 30 minutes and took about an hour to completely cool. This is actually more like a cake instead of a brownie but a perfectly moist cake, not heavy or dense at all. It has a very good flavor and is wonderfully spiced letting the pumpkin stand out. I used the entire 8 oz. of cream cheese instead of just 6 oz. It turns out the thin layer of frosting was just enough to cover the 9x 13 pan of brownies. The cream cheese frosting is tasty, lightly sweetened but not overly sweet. I had 15 nice thick slices of brownies. I also dusted the top of the frosting with a little cinnamon for visual appeal. If I were to make this again I would add raisins and nuts and maybe double the frosting. Perfect for the Holidays. Thanks for sharing.

It is true that this is more like a cake then brownies but after making this and tasting it I still give it 5 stars. I have never left a recipe as is before but this one is a winner. I might add dried cranberries and chopped walnuts in the future to add more to my taste but seriously, this recipe is perfect as it is written. My husband ate almost all of this by himself and always ask when am I going to make it again. I am actually making this for a birthday party this weekend. Try this recipe, you will love it!

I didn't read this before, but this is a CAKE recipe!! I tried to make it to take to a friend's party (as brownies), but ended up just keeping it for myself. It really is delicious...though the title is a little misleading :)

A big hit! I made these for a ladies luncheon and they disappeared. I had to make more for my family the next day.

These are very good, made into cupcakes. Not quite as dense as a brownie, but moister and slightly heavier than cake. Used ginger and nutmeg in place of pumpkin pie spice.

Here's the thing; the finished product from this recipe is not exactly what I was looking for when I began preparing it. I was anticipating a brownie, but what resulted was cake. Perfect cake. Perfectly moist, perfectly light, perfectly pumpkiny. This is no exaggeration. The others in the household remarked same. Now, I understand that there are some that would remove a star for this, errr, identity conflict, but I cannot add myself to that camp and be comfortable. Why not? Because, all in all, brownie, cake, whatever you want to call it, it happens to be some of the BEST cake I've EVER had in my life! Who cares if it has an identity crisis? Bake it, call it whatever you want!! Remarkable! Thank you!!
