This cake was awesome!!! It was a huge hit on Christmas Day. I followed the recipe exactly with no changes and it came out great. This recipe is sweet but everyone in my family loves sweets. Will definately make again. Thanks for the recipe.

Made this for my girl friends and they flipped over it. Everyone wanted this recipe. My husband really liked it too. When pressing down the cake batter, make sure to really press hard into the bottom mixture. I found that this way helped tone down some of the crunchiness. Will definitely make again!

What a hit for Thanksgiving!! I wasn't sure what it was going to turn out like but it was really like a pumpkin cobbler. Much tastier than pumpkin pie. I only used one cup of sugar and I toasted the pecans in butter before putting them on. Cooked for exactly 60 minutes. Thanks for a great recipe.

I am sure this dessert is the reason my fiance fell in love with me. He asks for it all the time, even for his birthday "cake" even though it's in the dead of summer. Now I've introduced it to his family. They're begging for me to bring it to this year's Thanksgiving gathering, my first time meeting the whole family. Really, this stuff is incredible. If I make any tweaks at all, it is to use the canned pumpkin pie mix with the spices already added, add a few more pecans, MAYBE reduce the butter to 3/4 cup, and usually I need to cover the dish with foil partway through baking so it doesn't burn. It DOES burn very easily, so watch for that. But it's incredible & decadent just the way it's written. Enjoy!

Really good and pretty darn easy! I tossed the pecans in 1 Tablespoon of butter and pre-toasted them in a 350 degree oven for 15 minutes.

must have cooked a few minutes too long and pecans got burnt. Also, didn't know if it needed refrigerated if I made the night before??? Otherwise it was good.

I am sorry, but my family and I HATED this recipe. It was so sugary sweet that it actually made us feel sick to eat it. Also, I was expecting something more cake like, but instead it was was like an over the top pumpkin pie. I won't be having seconds, and I will never make this again. I am extremely disappointed & truly don't understand why this recipe got such good reviews.

Great tasting cake,but would have to really experiment with cooking time, my pumpkin layer didn't set properly after 80 minutes. Will definitely try again because of the great taste.

Great recipe! I made it pretty much as written except I used walnuts instead of pecans and I made my own pumpkin spice mix instead of buying a jar from the grocery store. I served for friends and family and it was a huge hit. I even overcooked it so the top was slightly burned. So I had to scrape that off, but still, no complaints here! Next time I'll cook it for 1:10 instead of 1:20.

I love pumpkin, but I was not thrilled with this cake. I cut back the sugar to 1 cup but it was still overly sweet. It was easy to put together but the taste was just OK.

This recipe was a hit with our Thanksgiving crowd! It was ridiculously easy and quick to make. My only suggestion would be to use freshly ground cloves and cinnamon in place of the pumpkin pie spice; you could barely tell the spice was there.

This was a pretty good recipe, but I tweaked it a bit. As suggested by another reviewer, I used pumpkin pie filling instead of pumpkin puree. I used 3 eggs, 1/4 cup of evap milk, and omitted the sugar. As I was using a spring form pan, I felt this would need a crust of some sort, so I mixed the box of cake mix with 1/3 cup melted butter. I then used half this mixture to create a crust, which I baked blind at 350F for about 10 minutes, until it began to brown. I then added the pumpkin mixture, and over this the remaining cake/butter mixture. I left the pecans out until the last 20 minutes of baking to prevent them from burning. I baked the cake for 80 minutes at 350. Note: if you use a spring form pan, with the bottom crust as I did, I suggest placing a foil lined baking sheet underneath it during baking. Some melted butter melted out of the seam of my pan, and could have been a messy cleanup if I didn't have the baking sheet there. The finished cake was served with vanilla ice cream. I will be making this again. Good recipe!

Absolutely delicious! I brought it into the office, and it received rave reviews from everyone. for a richer, creamier flavor, I used cream cheese frosting instead of the frozen whipped topping. Additionally, my cake took considerably less cooking time than the recipe indicates. Suggestion: watch carefully so you do not overbake it! I will definitely keep this recipe close at hand for holiday gatherings!

Way too runny, had to cook almost two hours covered so as not to burn the nuts. 2 cans of 15 oz. pumpkin puree is needed!!!! I found another recipe online that is exactly the same as this one but with 29 oz. can pumpkin puree. That seems right. Used unsalted butter because I don't like margarine. I will try this recipe again with the modifications.
