This was very good except a cup of cake mix to sprinkle on top is way too much - I would omit it altogether next time and just top with cool whip once cooled.

This dessert was a hit yesterday at work for our receptionist's birthday. Everyone wanted the recipe! So easy to make and deliciously moist!

My recipe calls for baking at 425°F for 20 minutes then lowering the temp of oven to 350°F for the rest of the time requirement. Also sweetened condensed milk replaces regular milk. The best! Thank you for sharing -- lost my recipe in a move of household.

If a recipe takes longer than expected, I would suggest checking your oven temperature with an oven thermometer. It may not be heating correctly.

I love this pumpkin pie cake. My sister-in-law always made if for every winter gathering we had. I am so glad I found this recipe because I lost my copy when I moved. A few changes we make with this recipe: we use almost a whole box of yellow cake mix for the bottom crust. It gives it a little more body and easier to pick up and eat as our husbands like to do. Also, we use about another half box of yellow cake mix, mixed with a cup of broken walnuts for the topping. This is wonderful. When you bake it, keep it to the 350°F, the bottom will burn if you go higher than that. Some times I have had to bake it for 70-90 minutes. I think it might have something to do with the humidity. Anyway, we always bake it longer than the 45-50 minutes the recipe calls for. Enjoy this for Thanksgiving, Christmas or any time you want a rich treat. I like to add it to my new year's eve buffet. It seems to go well with this party too.

Love this recipe! Exactly what I was looking for! My problem was that I had a thin batter, so I replaced the milk with sweet and condensed milk, and 45 minutes was just not long enough to bake it. I've had to bake it now for 70 minutes, and it's still raw in the middle.. Maybe next time raise the oven temp to 400 or 425°F. Oh, and a half cup of the yellow cakemix left out. A whole cup was too much!

I made this recipe. It was a real hit at work. If I make this again... I will add chopped pecans to the first layer and I think it would make this so much better.
