I made this as cupcakes with cream cheese frosting also on this website. They were a hit! I did reduce the sugar to 1 and 3/4th cups and it was perfect. Added half teaspoon baking powder and increased the baking soda to 1 1/2 teaspoons. Skipped allspice because I didn't have it.

Took this cake to my husbands TaeKwonDo belting ceremony and everyone loved it. Only change I made was I subbed half a cup of natural apple sauce for the oil. Thank you for this delightful recipe!

I made this for a friend's son's birthday, and he LOVED it! I didn't taste the cake. I'm rating it on the smell while baking, and because it was easy and fun to make. I made a cream cheese frosting, used a ice cream cone for the stem, and Ghiradelli chocolate chips for the face (they are bigger than other chips.) I used half canola oil and half unsweetened applesauce,and reduced the sugar to a scant two cups.

Absolutely delicious and so easy to throw together quickly. I did reduce the sugar to 2 cups, because I thought 2 and 1/2 cups sounded like way too much. I also increased the salt to about 3/4 tsp since 1/4 tsp didn't seem like enough. I've been cooking and baking for 20 years, so if I give a recipe 5 stars, it's because it deserves it. BTW, I used this recipe to make cake pops, and it works great. Thanks!

I made this cake last night for a friend of mines Birthday because she loves pumpkin and it was a big hit. I didn`t have any allspice so i used pumpkin pie spice and it turn out great. I made my own pumpkin cream cheese icing and it also was a big hit.I used 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice,2 tsp cinnamon, 2 8oz cream cheese softened, 1/2 cup butter soften, 2cups sifted confectioners sugar and 1 tsp vanilla.Cream the cream cheese and butter together, add vanilla. mix pumpkin spice cinnamon and sugar together and mix with cheese and butter.I hope you all injoy this as much as she did.Cookie

WOW! Fabulous cake... we all loved it and while it was baking it brought out the neighbor. The smell was so delightful and the taste was out of this world. I did add 1/4 teas. of ginger and doubled the amount of walnuts. Very simple to make.

Super moist and super delicious. I am always looking for a good pumpkin recipe this time of year. I think I've found the perfect one. I made cupcakes and omitted the chopped nuts.

Very good. I used half oil and half applesauce. Also used 1 c white sugar and 1/2 cup brown sugar. Great use of my frozen homemade pumpkin puree. Tastes like gingerbread. Mmmm... I sifted some powdered sugar on top but the cake absorbed it all by the time I served it so I would recommend doing that right before serving.
