This was the first cake I ever made (I had to actually buy a 9 x 13 pan), and it came out perfect! I couldn't find yellow cake mix in precisely 18.25 oz so I used 16+ oz instead, and I didn't miss a thing. I also used 2 cups of cinnamon sugared pecans which I found at Whole Foods, and that added a lot to an already excellent recipe. I used 30 oz of pumpkin (not pumpkin pie filling), and though I had been skeptical, it came out every bit as hedonistically yummy as I could imagine, and not too gooey.
