Really good! I made mine using the pumpkin pie filling like others suggested and it turned out great, but when I had a small piece without whipped cream on it I thought it wasn't sweet enough and needed more sugar (must've been the pumpkin pie filling I used and not the recipe itself) but when I ate a small piece with cool whip on top it was sinfully delicious---just so scrumptious! We like cool whip with pumpkin pie anything anyway so it's all goooooood :) I made one and brought it to work and my co-workers raved about it!!! I'm making one tonight for dessert after Thanksgiving dinner tomorrow!

After reading the reviews I expected something different. The recipe name had "cake" in it...didn't know that meant the "cake mix" and not the texture...LOL I followed the recipe exactly and mine turned out mushy! Also the pumpkin had a very bland taste. If I would have put the crust on the bottom and cooked longer it may have looked and tasted more like that "southern lady's" very famous recipe on the food channel. Maybe I have made too many versions of these types of dishes. I may make it one more time to see if I have the same results. I did cool this about 1 hour before cutting. I'm hoping after placing in the fridge overnight the consistancy and taste will improve.

We loved this recipe. It turned out great and was fantastic with a scoop of vanilla ice on the side!

I made this for our annual pumpkin carving contest, and what a hit! The walnuts on top add great flavor and substance. I love the fact that it is SO easy to prepare and it is a KEEPER for sure! The only thing I would change is to add a few more spices to the batter, perhaps some cloves.

I made this halloween night, The comments were "this is a keeper, let's make this on Thanksgiving, and Can I have this recipe?" Although I found mixing the cake mix with the melted butter made it difficult to spread, next time i will try it like the original recipe suggests. Other than that, this was extremely Fast to put together. I almost felt guilty getting all the compliments....almost. THANKS!

I made this 2 times in a row - very delicious! I also used the pumpkin pie filling to make it easier (instead of pumpkin plus sugar and spice). When I made it the 2nd time I didn't use all the cake mix and it was even better, as I prefer a higher ratio of pumpkin to the cobbler topping.

Awesome! I used the Libbys pumpkin pie filling to make it a little quicker. I've had several people ask for the recipe, and my husband that usually doesn't like pumpkin is now insisting I make this for Thanksgiving dessert. Thanks!

Delicious! It was much better than we anticipated! The crunch of the nuts was perfect in every bite. We will be making it again, but thought that it was very sweet, and will try to cut back on some of the sugar.

I made this and it turned out very mushy. I made it again and left it in for an hour and fifteen minutes exactly and it was perfect. Thanks for the great recipe!

This is absolutely delicious. My family prefers this over regular pumpkin pie. I always use spice cake mix instead of yellow cake mix and serve with lots of whipped cream.

Great recipe! I mixed the melted butter with the cake mix and it worked out great. I made it for my in-laws Pheas-giving (pheasant season opener/early Thanksgiving) and everyone loved it.

I love this recipe. I had a an alternate version that states to flip the cake upside down after it cools and top the cake with a frosting made of 1 pkg. cream cheese, 1/2 c, powdered suger, and 1 cup (or more) of cool whip. Upside down the cake can be served as dessert bars, I sprinkle the frosting with a few more chopped walnuts to finish it off.

Very good! I took the suggestion to mix the melted butter w/ the cake mix before topping the pumpkin & it worked real well. I do think that next time I will not use the entire box of cake mix (I think I would prefer it w/ less). My daughter (who is a very picky eater & never compliments me on my cooking) took some home w/ her & called me up to tell me how good it was. Thanks!
