A great cake. I made it richer by adding a package of chocolate chips and it turned out great. It didn't need the frosting with this sweet addition either.

This cake was very moist and presented well. The frosting was very tasty, although I had some trouble with clumps of sugar. However, the flavor cake was sort of bland. The pumpkin flavor wasn't very pronounced, and it tasted like a subtly different chocolate cake.

Overall pretty good. I enjoyed the flavor combo, but I don't know that it will work for everyone. The glaze is excellent, though. Those who say it is gritty might want to try heating it longer and stiring until you're certain the brown sugar has dissolved.

I did indeed weep and exult at this cake, an outstanding combination of seasonal flavors. Because I was using fresh pumpkin, I pureed it for smoothness, but didn't think to do that 'til I already had it mixed with the cream and eggs. That may have made my version a little fluffier than the original, and turned out impressively taller than the average Bundt cake. The cake was a hit with colleagues at an early Thanksgiving dinner, and the babysitters enjoyed cleaning the frosting pan at home.

I would probably say 3.5 stars. This was just okay for us. The glaze did end up being very sweet & grainy even though I did it very carefully & used a whisk. The cake is very dense but moist. Not really sweet at all except for the glaze.

This recipe is really good, and the pumpkin helps it to stay moist longer. The only caution I would make is that it took almost twice as long to bake as the recipe said it would.

I made this cake for Thanksgiving Dinner and it was a hit. I followed the directions exactly and got a perfect result. It was very rich and moist but not oversweet. There was a hint of pumpkin which was delicious, even though not everyone could taste it. I didn't put as much sugar in the icing and the cake as the recipe called for, and it still turned out amazing. I would definetely reccomend making this!

I followed the recipe to T, Unfortunately, we didn't like to way it tasted. The texture was too dense, the cooking time mentioned was off, I needed to bake mine at least 20 minutes more and keep inseting the tooth pick. I wouln't make it again. Sorry!

An odd combination of flavors I felt. The frosting is really sweet and the cake doesnt seem to be sweet enough, as odd as that sounds. It just didnt mesh well together.

This cake turned out very moist and rich, and it looked beautiful on the plate. Unfortunately, we didn't love the way it tasted. It was too spicey for me and my family, or maybe it was simply the pumpkin-chocolate combination. We shared it with our neighbor and she really liked it. So, if you think you'll like the spicey pumpkin and chocolate combination, go for it - you'll love how moist and flavorful this cake is. If, on the other hand, the combination doesn't sound good, you're probably right. Try something less risky.

This cake is super yummy. Next time around I will add just a little more pumpkin pie spice. The frosting is super yummy and helps to sweeten the cake! Thanks for the recipe!
