Two words for this cake. Yum Yum. It was delicious and since i am not a fan of whipped cream I opted for a cream cheese glaze and sprinkled with chopped pecans. The recipie for the glaze is 1 ounce cream cheese 1/2 cup of confectioners sugar 2 to 3 tsp of milk 1 tsp of vanilla extract Blend all together until smooth. drizzle over top of warm cake. ***** UPDATE ***** My best friend and her fiance love this cake so much that next month i will be attempting to make this cake into a 3 tier stacked wedding cake to serve 75 people! Wish me luck!

This is moist and delicious. I used French Vanilla cake mix and Jell-o Pumpkin Spice pudding mix and it was awesome! For a glaze I mixed 5oz softened cream cheese, 1/2 cup powdered sugar, 1 1/2 tsp vanilla with ~3 tbs orange juice. YUMMY.

a snap to prepare, presents well, and very moist without being heavy dense. I subbed applesauce for the oil, and added more pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, clove, allspice, and nutmeg. Couldnt taste the butterscotch pudding; I think it just helped with the texture and moistness. Rose very high. My oven usually bakes either slightly slower or spot on, and the time would have been too long in my oven. It was done in 45 min. Used a 10x sugar glaze w/grated orange zest. Complimented the cake well and tasted like a homemade spice cake. This did not leave any trace of cake mix taste behind. Thanks for the recipe. If you like a bit more spice, I would suggest at the very least, doubling the spice.

Great cake, although I would like even more pumpkin taste. It might have been enhanced if I had butterscotch pudding, but all I had was white chocolate. I added 2/3 cup cinnamon chips. I baked it a little too long (a little dry) but that was my error. I dusted the pan with white sugar, and it made a nice crunchy crust. Great idea, and I will make again!

As I expected from a pudding-enhanced cake mix, this was a very moist cake - no surprise. What I didn't expect was how well this recipe was able to mask that tell-tale cake mix taste! (Maybe it was the butter recipe cake mix I used?) I doubled the amount of pumpkin pie spice and it turned out to be the perfect amount. This is not as sweet as most cake mix cakes, most likely because of the pumpkin, so I'm glad I chose a substantial cream cheese glaze which was the perfect complement - 4 ozs. cream cheese, 1 T. butter, 2 c. powdered sugar, 1/2 tsp. vanilla and 2-3 T. milk - enough to make it thick yet still pourable. This is a pretty, pleasantly spiced, and unmistakably pumpkin cake, and one that cries out for a cream cheese frosting or glaze. Note: Be cautious on the baking time - I set my oven for 45 minutes and it was done!

This cake was delicious. I added 1/2 cup of walnuts and baked for only 47 minutes. I also microwaved a 1/2 cup of cream cheese frosting(any brand) for 30 seconds and poured on top of cooled cake. Good alternative to pumpkin pie. Will make again!!

I'm glad I found this receipe at this site. I originally got the recipe from a BJ's magazine but somehow lost it. I will make this cake again for Christmas it's great and the butterscotch pudding makes it extra moist.

Very moist cake! Made this last night for dessert and got lots of compliments. Followed the directions for the cake, baking for 50 min. Then drizzled cream cheese frosting (store bought) over the top.

My husband and daughter both give this a two thumbs up. I did use a reduced sugar yellow cake mix and sugar free pudding, and my husband said he thought it was awesome. The cake was moist and flavorful.

Yummy! I didn't have a two-layer mix, but I did have two single layer Jiffy mixes so I used those. I used 4 TBS applesauce and 1 TBS oil, just over the cup of pumpkin, and the Pumpkin Pie Spice II recipe off this site. I forgot to flour the pan, but it barely stuck at all after being sprayed liberally. It took just over an hour to bake (next time, I'll raise my oven to 375), and I drizzled it with the frosting from Pumpkin Cookies with Penuche Frosting (using less icing sugar so it's more of a glaze). Fabulous and moist! Thanks so much, Lucille!
