This was well received. I rarely make cakes from a box mix, but this was a wonderful use of canned pumpkin & butter cake mix I had in my pantry. I didn't make the frosting in this recipe, however, I did make the frosting from Recipe #73815 (with the addition of 1 t. vanilla extract) and frosted the cake right from the oven. It was so moist! My husband was surprised that it was a box mix. If I made it again, I would probably increase all of the spices.
