Now this isn't a pretty recipe, but once it reaches your mouth you won't mind. We are all big fans of pumpkin pie and this just put's it over the top! We like it best a little warm with a small scoop of vanilla icecream or a little cold cream on top. Yummy, yummy, good! Barb in BC Canada

I originally wrote this recipe down in my car while listening to the KNX Food News Hour with Jackie Olden in the early 80's. I made it and everyone loved it so much that I was chosen to make it every Thanksgiving after that, which I faithfully did until a few years ago when I somehow lost the recipe. I've been sitting here for 2 hours searching for this recipe - not the first time I've tried to search for it, but finally came across the original recipe. Yea! I remembered most of the recipe from memory, but was a bit fuzzy on the filling (though I used a standard filling once when I first lost the original) and some of the quantities. I am so glad that I can now go back to the REAL recipe, and you can bet that I won't lose it again. In fact, it will be added to a cookbook we are putting together as a fundraiser for next year. That way it will always be available, and the number of people who know about it will grow. I think it should be the standard (and only) pumpkin pie made for the holidays. Thank you, Rick

Almost too sweet, very rich-but good. Easy to prepare. I served for friends who loved it, but the leftovers I threw out the next day. Best to serve warm and fresh.

It turned out fantastic. Can't wait to make it again. The toppping turned out great by spreading the butter out evenly over the top. I think next time I will add 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips to the pumpkin mixture.

I orginally rated this recipe a few years ago and felt I needed to re-rate it with updated comments. The only thing I do different from the original is to use 1/2 brown and white sugar. This was the first recipe I made from allrecipies.com and it continues to be one of our favorites for the holidays. My husband calls it "pumpkin surprise" and he looks forward to it every year. :)

Great dessert recipe. Is it a cake, is it a pumpkin pie? Who knows, but everyone who tried it at a Church potluck loved it and asked for the recipe. Yummmmmm!!!

Have made this cake(actually my 11yr old son)for the past two Thanksgivings and everyone loves it. Even those who "don't like pumpkin".

I am not a pumpkin pie lover so this was not a big hit with me but everyone else loved it. Lots of compliments and recipe requests.

This is a great recipe. I only changed a few things - instead of yellow cake mix, I used a Cinnamon Swirl mix that I found; I used Pumpkin Pie Spice (instead of cinnamon and ground cloves) and walnuts instead of pecans. This turned out great, was easy to do and made the house smell just great on a cold fall evening! Good job, Jacki.

This was a great recipe. The only change I would make would be to add a little more cinnamon and sugar to the pumpking mixture. Also, don't make the mistake I did-I only used half of the cake mix (because it covered the top)-and now I wish I had used it all!

This past Thanksgiving I was looking for something a little more unusual than the standard pumpkin pie dessert. A friend told me about this recipe. Not only was it incredibly easy to make, but my family raved about it and asked me to make it again at Christmas and again in January for a family dinner. I would add to just give it enough time to thoroughly cool, otherwise it stays "soupy" but if you don't mind, it is great still slightly warm with ice cream if you can't wait for it to cool.

Wonderful variation from traditional pumpkin pie. I don't like pumpkin pie and I LOVED this cake. I did decrease the butter somewhat and couldn't tell anything was missing. A definite keeper. Would also be great with various pie fillings instead of pumpkin.

This was wonderful--easy and delicious. My 9x13 glass dish was very full, but it settled a bit after taking from the oven. The nuts were a bit dark after a full hour, but they tasted fine.

This tasted great, although it wasn't the most beautiful dish I've ever made... Everyone thought it was meatloaf at first, but it all disappeared by the end of my party!! I think that if I make it again, I'll put it in individual souffle dishes and adjust the cooking time. Maybe it will be prettier that way!

I have found this cake to be very rich so a little goes a long way. Those who like it, love it and want the recipe. It is quick and easy to make and certainly makes any event more festive. It is good with Cool Whip or other whipped topping on it.
