Love this! I have a suggestion, though. Based on another cook's recommendation, I cut the sugar in half. (Actually used Splenda.) Next time, I'll leave the sugar out completely. It does NOT need it. It's plenty sweet without. Trust me. -
I love this recipe. We make it at least once a year. Makes a ton though, so better when there's a crowd around to eat it. -
This turned out very nicely. I did add some brown sugar sprinkled on top to kind of carmelize the pecans. It turned out very nice thank you for posting this yummy alternative to pumpkin pie.

I believe I like this better than pumpkin pie!! I added the following tweaks: reduced sugar to 1/2 cup and used packed brown sugar instead of white; kicked up the spices to 1 t. of pumpkin pie spice and 2 t. of cinnamon. II cut the cold sticks of butter into pieces and placed on the top of the cake batter. I find this method works better than melting the butter first. This is a great recipe for beginner bakers. -
My whole family loves this recipe. Our grandmother made this recipe way back in the 90's, got it from church and called it "Pumpkin Pudding". The only difference on her recipe was it only used 2 eggs instead of 3. My family loves it more than any of the other Thanksgiving desserts, hands down. You gotta try it!!!!

This was so easy and delicious!My husband is a huge pumpkin fan and I remembered having a co-worker that used to bring this to work, so I went searching for a recipe. My kids loved it so much that when I was grocery shopping today my 11 year old son asked me to buy the ingrediants to make it again. He even knew the exact cake mix to buy! I substituted walnuts for the pecans since that is all I had. I also used 1 tablespoon of pumpkin pie spice and left out the cinnamon.

I made this recipe - except I used spice cake mix instead of yellow cake mix and walnuts instead of pecans. Turned out delicious and everyone loved them. This recipe is a keeper for me - better than the traditional pie and much easier to make!
