Amazing! I didn't use the walnuts because I didn't have any and used white cake mix instead of the yellow.

This is good, but not spectacular. An hour was too long in my oven--and my oven does not run hot. I would recommend checking on it after 45 minutes, just in case. Great for the holidays, thanks!

I always get rave reviews when I bring this to a party. I cover with foil for first 30 minutes of baking so nuts (I use pecans) don't get over-cooked. Probably my oven or where my rack was placed first time I made it...who knows! Super yummy! Thanks!

I was excited to make this as it sounded great from the reviews but unfortunately, my family didn't enjoy it at all. The combination of ingredients is good but the topping comes out too sweet - probably the combination of melted butter with the powdered cake mix - pure sugar. Also, the cake didn't rise as much as I expected which made for quite a dense, moist dessert. Moist is good, but a lighter cake would have been better.

I loved this cake. I've made it since 1986 and got it from a woman named Marilyn Routsong while we were stationed in West Germany. It is best HOT! out of the oven or COLD! from the fridge. Her husband used to bring it into the office in the winter and set it on the radiator. It made the office smell so nice and warm all morning long. This is my daughter's favorite cake.

This has long been a favorite of our family and friends. One change that I learned from my Gram years ago is to use Butter Pecan cake mix instead of the yellow - that really makes it taste like a brown sugar type crisp topping. Yummy with fresh whipped cream on top!!!

I brought this to church tonite. Brought the pan home empty. Many asked for the recipe. All I did different was use the Libby's Pumpkin Pie Mix instead of pumpkin and spices. Thanks for a great recipe!
