This recipe is FANTASTIC!! I have made it a couple of times, and every time it is wonderful! The only thing I changed, was I put 6-8 oz. cream cheese in the frosting instead of just 4. But otherwise, this is the best pumpkin cake I've ever had! Thank you for this awesome recipe!!

LOVE this recipe. Made it last night and have had to fight to resist eating it all today. Wonderfully moist and flavourful. Only change I made was to add other traditional 'pumpkin pie' spices: ground nutmeg, allspice and cloves...MMMMmmmmmmm

I love this pumpkin goodie. There is never any leftover. The only thing I do differently is add a little extra vanilla and powder sugar for the icing.

Quick, easy and tastes wonderful. I did read previous reviews and added about 6 oz. of cream cheese and doubled the vanilla which goes with our family taste. Delicious!
