I have been meaning to rate this ever since I tried it - shortly after Peggy Lynn posted it. "Ditto" to everything Susie said and THEN some. I think I've made it 4 times now - not just for us, but also to welcome some new neighbors. They said they would have moved here sooner if they had known about the Pumpkin Praline Cake. :) So full-bodied, so rich, and different textures to enjoy. It does not taste like a mix is used at all. Reminiscent of sticky buns, pecan pie, and pumpkin pie - all enjoyed at once. Thank you, Peggy!!!

Well Peggy Lynn, I have to say you've gone and done it now! :-) This recipe is awesome. My husband is a big pumpkin fan (as you very well know) so I had to try this tonight and boy am I glad I did!! It was a HUGE hit in this house. I'll be surprised if there is any left for tomorrow. The only thing that could possibly be a bit different was the cooking time, but I think that was my oven. I only had to bake it for 50 minutes. I let it cool on a wire rack for about 30 minutes and it came out of the bundt pan beautifully! The rest of the recipe is perfect as written. It is such a pretty cake too. The filling sinks to the bottom and when you turn it over, it has this gooey, sticky wonderful looking top to the cake. It was perfect. Thank you SO much for this great recipe. It will become a regular in my rotation of cake recipes. Many hugs to you Peggy...Susie

The flavor is good. The cake is moist. I'll make it without the filling next time.

My cousin made this cake for our family and it was very good. I had never liked pumpkin until I tasted this recipe. Now it is growing on me. Thanks for posting this, Peggy Lynn!
