I’ve made this before and really like it even though I am not a big “pumpkin” fan. I have also had it drizzled with a thin icing.

I am considering cutting up a pumpkin and boiling it mushy instead of canned pumpkin. I wonder if this will make a difference?

Tried this last weekend – excellent! Got lots of compliments, and was great with a little Cool Whip. Will be making this again, and trying a couple of modifications:

1) adding the usual pumpkin pie spices like cloves and nutmeg
2) using more of the pumpkin mix, since the cake “crust” ended up being so thick

Personally, I would put on come whipped cream. But I am not a frosting person. I think this is rich enough on its own.

I plan to make this pumpkin cake. Woudl you suggest a frosting on top or a simple topping as whipped cream?

The melted butter gets pour over the cake mix (see next to last instruction) however… I make this often, and adapted the recipe by using a stick to stick and a half (depending on how decadent I feel…) of butter, sliced into thin pats and placed at even intervals across the top of the pan. The butter still ends up melted and evenly distributed – that is the key. Dry cake mix = powdery top. Buttery cake mix = yummy crust! So just make sure the butter is distributed evenly and it comes out wonderful! I also add extra pecans, just because I like them. As with the original recipe – I heeded the warning to make some to give some to someone else so that you don’t eat the whole pan yourself — so I divide it between 2 8″ cake pans (those foil with lid ones are great!) and give one away. It *really* is that good!

Regarding your Pumpkin Pie on Steroids recipe, I have 2 questions:

1) what do you do with the butter?
2) how can you a} pour in the batter, add the cake mix, sprinkle the pecans AND THEN b} pour in the batter (again).

Thanks
