Great recipe. However, my southern taste buds prefer sweet potatoes. So, I tried this with a large can of sweet potatoes and it was to die for. I blended the sweet potatoes with a hand mixer. Worked mar-vah-los-ly!!

I love this dump cake! I've been making it since I was 18. Instead of using pumpkin puree and pumpkin spices separately, I use the canned pumpkin pie mix. It's a nice change to pumpkin pie, everyone expects this for Thanksgiving!

I hate pumpkin pie, can't stand it - but this cake is AWESOME!! I have officially declared I will never made another pumpkin pie but will make this from here on out. I didn't use this recipe but used one out of a Betty Crocker Cookbook - everything was the same except the cookbook called for Betty Crocker brand Golden Vanilla cake mix. I highly recommend anyone trying this recipe for the first time use this cake mix instead of plain yellow cake mix as the Golden Vanilla has a wonderful vanilla flavor that I think will take an already exceptional recipe and take it out of this world. Friends have asked me to make another one but use sweet potato instead of pumpkin. Another friend suggest drizzling the Smuckers Caramel ice cream topping on top with whip cream.

My husband could not stop talking about this cake...he absotlutely loved it...and he is not much of a cake eater. Once he let other people try it, it was all the rave. It's a keep in my book.

Not sure what I did wrong. I was unsure of the 'sprinkle cake mix and pat down'. I wish I would have mixed the cake mix in thoroughly as the cake came out soggy on the bottom. I only used 1/2 cup margarine too, I can't imagine what 1 cup would have tasted like. I wouldn't make this again.

Very simple recipe that gets rave reviews from everyone I have served it to! I am asked for the recipe every time. It may seem like the 1c melted butter is a lot - but it makes it taste sinfully good! Thank you for the great recipe.

Considering I'm not much of a baker, this was very well received at Thanksgiving dinner! So easy to make, too. Next time, I would not use the entire box of yellow cake mix (maybe 3/4rds). Mine only took 60 minutes in the oven - - any longer and make sure that your pecans do not burn. What a nice change from the same old pumpkin pie.

This is very tasty - even better cold the next day with REAL whip cream, too! I used a smaller pan (11x8) and it was way too thick on the crust. One stick of butter was definitely enough. It did seem salty though, and the crust was very thick. I think I'd work with this to get it right. It's worth it!

I never make a new recipe for others without testing it first...but I was in a time-bind. This was great!! The compliments I got included, "excellent, heavenly, delicious..." A definite hit and just in time for the holidays!

I have made variations of the "pumpkin cake" recipe for years, but this is by far THE BEST pumpkin recipe I have ever come across! I will NEVER go back to that other version again! I wouldn't change a thing! Thank you.

This is absolutely wonderful! I don't really care for pumpkin pie, but this dessert is fabulous! I make it exactly as the recipe says, except I'm not a big nut person so I leave out the nuts. Everywhere I take this everyone loves it and asks for the recipe!

Awesome! Very nice fall dessert. I even adjusted it a bit and it was still marvelous. I decreased the sugar to 1 cup and decreased the butter to 1/2 cup. I mixed 1/3 cup of flaxseed meal into the cake mix to make up for the missing butter--a sneaky way to make up some much needed omega-3s. Everyone loved this dessert, even my 5 year old.

O my god this is one of the BEST cakes I've ever eaten!!! It's rich and filling, but so delicious. It's very hard to get yourself to stop eating it. (Could be dangerous).
