      I made this with my girl scout troop to enter a pumpkin pie contest. It was very "pumpkinny" and had a different spin on pumpkin pie. Very similar to "dump cakes" where you use pie fillings and top with cake mix, butter, and nuts. As for the pie contest, the girls won 1st prize. Thanks for the recipe.

      I cannot say enough about this recipe. I made it after I smelled in cooking at a friends house. Its smell, taste, texture is intoxicating. This is an amazing sub for pumpkin pie. And tastes MUCH better. When I made it the first time, I omitted the allspice and the nutmeg since I didn't have any on hand..and it was still delicious. My pumpkin hating husband devours it. He asks for it all the time!!! You will not be disappointed with this one.

      I made this tonight as a test run for Thanksgiving. Outstanding!!! It really was too easy, yet so delicious. I was expecting this to be kind of like a pumpkin pie, but the flavor of the nuts, cake & pumpkin all combined to make it a really interesting & irresistible dessert for the Holidays.I used the yellow cake mix & walnuts,& also used pumpkin pie spice.THANKS!!

      I've made this a few times now and I love it. This is way better than the usual pumpkin pie!

      SO delicious. Everyone loved it. Smells heavenly while baking in the oven. Tasted even better the second day. DH doesn't like nuts, so I used a Pampered Chef chopper to chop the nuts very finely (Cheaper to buy pecan halves than chopped pecans anyway.), and he LOVED it. It gave the dessert a nice crunch. Interesting alternative to pumpkin pie. You can also see three layers when you cut into it, which was different from pumpkin pie. I had a lot of canned pumpkin left over, which I would probably use for pancakes or pumpkin bread. Thanks so much for the recipe! Will definitely make again. So delicious and so easy to make.

      Overall, we like this a lot. The smell was incredible. It was super easy, and it will feed more people than a pie if you're looking for something for a crowd. I took mine out at 1 hour, but think I'll leave it in longer next time. It wasn't runny, but was still thinner than I would have preferred it. Used a spray can of rediwhip on each piece as needed. I don't usually do nuts, but I loved the taste of the butter soaked pecans in this!

      This is awesome! Better than Pumpkin Pie and serves more people. Every one loves this version. Another one of Kitte's winners.

      Sorry, but I made this tonight and was not impressed...not to mention my husband didn't like it either.

      I made this for my family who are British and it was a huge hit. They were all certain they would not like pumpkin in a dessert but they were proved wrong. It is a keeper for us. I like it better than pumpkin pie. It is more interesting and not bland at all. Thank you!

      This was sooo good. I made it for Thanksgiving as an alternative to pumpkin pie. It was a little too rich for most of my family though, which is why I'm only giving it 4 stars.

      I am a die-hard, eat-an-entire-pumpkin-pie-by-myself-any-time-of-the-year kind of person and I absolutely ADORE this cake! I wanted to serve up something a little different (alongside the ever fabulous pumpkin pie) this year at Thanksgiving and your cake was a huge hit! We decided it was almost like a pumpkin cobbler. My husband is lactose intolerant, so I used evaporated goats milk, and it was still amazing! Thank-you for the recipe, I will definetly be making this again, and soon!

      Made this last night to see if I wanted it for Thanksgiving. Let my 4 yr old daughter have it for breakfast because she usually has pumpkin bread. She said, Mama, you should make this instead from now on. I think that says everything! Thanks!

      I brought this to a cookout and I only had a tiny square left to take home. It was a huge hit!

      I've made this a few years now (originally from another recipe website) and it's great. I toast the pecans in butter and instead of whipped cream, I use crumb cake topping (taken from a favorite crumb cake recipe) and call it Pumpkin Crumb Crunch Cake. It's a hit among many pumpkin fans during the holidays and requested by many.

      Yummy! I had a can of pumpkin to use from Thanksgiving and thought this was perfect. Everyone loved it but it's very rich so we all had just a small piece. Will make again!
