We love this recipe! I make it several times during the autumn season and always get rave reviews. I've reduced the sugar to 3/4 cup and reduced the butter to 1/2 cup and still get great results. To make the cake prettier, I've cut the butter into the cake mix and stirred in the pecans before spreading over the pumpkin topping.<br/>Thanks for sharing this simple, wonderful dessert.

Try using very cold butter and a vegetable peeler. The butter goes on in long thin peels for even coverage. I'm trying the butter cut into the cake mix method today. Merry Christmas.

I melted butter and mixed with the dry cake mix and it didn't turn out as good as pouring the melted butter over the cake mix on the dump cake.

i used a spice cake mix and drizzled with caramel when it came out of the oven and served with whip cream.

This was very good except I thought there was too much cake on the top and was very buttery. Next time I think I would only use half a cake mix and half the butter for the topping. Other then this, we thought the filling was wonderful. Will try again with the changes. Thanks wwltmom!
