I made this to take in to my staff as a Monday-morning treat and they all but licked the plate! The recipe works great, even in high altitude. I did drizzle a simple powdered sugar icing on top, with a sprinkle of cinnamon added. NOW, I have to find another great treat to take in because Kay missed it! Thanks for the wonderful recipe, Johnson!

I was in a bind and needed to make a cake in a hurry, no time to run to the store for ingredients either. My cake mix was bigger than called for, I only had 3 eggs, my butterscotch pudding mix was smaller than called for and sugar free. I used the entire can of pumpkin in hopes of compensating a little for the missing egg. I had no choice, just had to throw it in all together and hope for the best. Even with all of that going against me, the cake turned out wonderful! Served it with fat free whipped cool whip that I had in the freezer and it was wonderful!! Can't imagine it could have turned out better. Moist and flavorful with just the right about of spice. I'll be making this again. Thanks Marg! This recipe was a real lifesaver.

I really liked this cake and so did the people who tried it. I made it with spice cake mix and pumpkin flavored pudding and drizzled it with the cream cheese icing from Gooey Cinnamon Rolls (Bread Machine Recipe). If you go that route I'd suggest keeping a container w/ the rest of the icing w/ to serve. I poured extra icing in the middle and people wanted more.
