This recipe is a keeper!!! I took it to a Halloween party this morning, and I've been eating on the leftovers all day. The cake turned out so moist and yummy. I did use pumpkin pie spice and 1/2 t. of cinnamon to give it an extra bit of spice. I baked it in a stoneware bar pan which was perfect for it. Thank you for sharing! I've been making this cake for 3 years. I always double the frosting and use about 3/4 of it on the cake. I use 1 T. of the Pampered Chef Cinnamon Plus spice in place of just regular cinnamon. It's also best when baked as a sheet cake, in a stoneware bar pan. It bakes fine in 25 min. that way. I've given out this recipe dozens of times!

This recipe is sooooooo good! I have taken it to several gatherings and gotten rave reviews and many requests for the recipe. Last time I made it, I used 1/2 the oil and one less egg and it turned out just as good (maybe even better, and healthier too). I LOVE this recipe!

this cake is delicious and gets rave reviews! we made it this year for my son's Halloween/Birthday party and both kids and adults loved it. people don't expect a large cake at a kids party to taste so good! plus you can mix up the decorations with all kinds of themes (Halloween etc.) I doubled the recipe and had NO leftovers.

I made this for my husband because he loves pumpkin pie and I do not, so I was hoping this was a good compromise. What a hit! I, too, added more cream cheese in my frosting, and used a cinnamond blend (it included nutmet)rather than plain cinnamon. I'm not sure how much of it I used as I ended up dumping rather than measuring. I used a 9x13 inch pan so it took longer to cook (use the toothpick test!) but it was AMAZINGLY moist. I took some to work and was treated like a gourmet chef!

This recipe was excellent. Everyone loved it. It came out moist and wonderful. I did change the spices a bit and added more cinnamon and 1 teaspoon of nutmeg.

so delicious and moist..I made this for a church function 2 days ahead and left in refrige..so good everyone raved! I forgot to mention that I used only 1 3/4 cups of white sugar and it was still sweet enough..I also use much less 10x sugar for the icing about 1 cup works great.

This cake is amazing! I made it for Thanksgiving dinner, and it got eaten up before the Pumpkin pie did. I'm not sure how many times I was asked for the recipe. I will definitely make this again. (I also doubled the icing and used half of it for something else, but I mixed it with unsweetened WHIPPED cream, and it was really fluffy and yummy)

This is an EXCELLENT recipe!! The cake was very moist, flavorful & easy to make. It got rave reviews from my husband & his friends. The frosting was a little sweet, so I added a bit more cream cheese.
