My new 'Pumpkin Pie' for the holidays. Nobody likes pie crust, even if I make it from scratch, so this fits the bill. Hubby was especially happy and pumpkin pie is his favorite.

Every just loved this, even people who do not like pumpkin. Easy to make. I used 4 teasp. pumpkin pie spices, yellow cake mix and increased the melted butter to 1 cup to cover entire cake. I was asked to make it for Christmas!

This was one of the best dump cakes I have ever eaten, even my non-pumpkin liking husband loved it! I'm a diabetic so I played with the recipe a bit. I used 1/4 cup white sugar and 1/4 cup SPLENDA, 1/4 cup brown sugar and 1/4 cup SUGAR TWIN brown sugar replacement. I also used PET fat free canned milk and instead of using butter on the top I sprayed it with I CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S NOT BUTTER spray. It turned out fantastic.

There was too much pumpkin filling, and the texture was not as firm as I'd like (even though I let it cool completely). Not really a cake - more like a pudding. The melted butter didn't spread evenly, leaving dry spots of cake mix. And the pecans BURNED, tasting bad and making the cake unattractive. If you plan to make this, add the pecans during the last few minutes of baking, or as a garnish after cake cools.

This was excellent!!! I will it make over and over. I was worried that there wasn't enough butter on the top, so I melted another stick of butter over the top. I bet it would have turned out fine according to the original recipe, but we loved the extra butter. MY TIPS FOR THIS RECIPE: Better texture when allowed to cool (it solidfies more). Once its cool, it cuts easily into nice squares. If you try to serve it too hot, just like a pumpkin pie, it will be too wet. If your top has browned too fast, try using an oven thermometer to make sure you oven is heating properly. I don't think the negative reviews were fair at all, but everyone is entitled to their opinion. Here's mine.. MMMMM!!!

I used white cake mix instead of the spiced cake and it still tasted great. It tasted more like a coffee cake than a pumpkin pie. The topping was delicious!

it was ok, but the pumpkin filling could stand a little doctoring. i feel that if you cut the amount of filling by 1/3 or 1/2 it would be quite good. also, i suggest, instead of pouring melted butter, which invariably results in uneven distribution because of the nooks and crannies of the dry mix crumbles, that you simply slice up the butter and lay them over the top evenly. this seems to work better for me.

Excellant!! Friends and family really liked it and it was so easy. I did change the 1/2 cup of butter to 1-1/2 sticks as the cake didn't seem to have enough moisture.

The pumpkin flavor and spices did not come through very well. The bottom was too mushy and the top part of cake mix did not cook evenly despite the butter being evenly sprinkled over it. I set the oven at 350 degrees and baked for 55 minutes. The cake came out very dark and almost burnt. 50 minutes is more than enough time at 350 degrees. I was not happy with the results and probably will not bake this again.

BEWARE!! THIS IS NOT A CAKE. IT IS PUMPKIN PLOP!! IT IS QUICK AND EASY TO PREPARE AND TASTES OK BUT NOT GREAT. PREPARE TO SERVE IN A BOWL AND EAT WITH A SPOON.IF YOU WANT A REAL PUMPKIN CAKE RECIPE, CONTINUE YOUR SEARCH.

My husband and I thought this was better than pumpkin pie will make over and over again. Just make sure you wet the dry cake mix on top with butter.

I improvised and used a white cake instead of a spice cake. I also used butter that was salted . all other instructions I followed correctly. This cake was sweet and salty. I did not like at all. I'm sure it is teriffic with the spice cake and unsalted butter!
