Make sure you give this cake a try. I used canned cream cheese frosting because that's how I roll most days. You can be fancy and make your own frosting if you must. I'm not the boss of you. Just make this and faceplant into it okay? Thanks.

My girls and I made this recipe for Thanksgiving, but we turned it into cupcakes! Everyone LOVED them. The girls enjoyed it and could easily manage the instructions. Plus, decorating cupcakes is always fun around here. I wish I could post a picture.
Oh my gosh that is such a great idea! You could post on instagram and tag us, we would love to see!
The perfect balance of chocolate and pumpkin!! We love this fall dessert. It is so moist and flavorful!
oh my goodness, this cake was everything that I wished it to be and more! thank you so much for sharing this amazing recipe
This was incredibly delicious and so moist!
Such an amazing pumpkin dessert!! This is totally irresistible! I will definitely make it again!
Thank you so much Toni!
So easy, but so good! I made homemade cream cheese frosting and did do a light sprinkling of pumpkin pie spice. Delish!
Yay! So glad you loved it!
This turned out great! After the holidays I had a can of pumpkin that didn't get used and a box of cake mix languishing in my cupboard. It was so light, I was so surprised! I skipped frosting, because I am trying to use up holiday baking items and just topped this with some whipped cream. Thank you so much for this recipe. I think I'll make it on purpose in the future! My household really loved it.
So glad you loved it! Whipped cream sounds like a delish topping.
Ladies this recipe is terrible,complete fail.
With all fresh ingredients it did not rise. It was like a heavy thick sponge that I had to throw out. Can you please check what doesn’t work in your recipe.
Susan, that is really weird. I have made this recipe dozens of times and literally never had an issue. Was the cake mix you used expired? Does your oven typically cook slower and perhaps you needed to adjust baking time? I am so sorry it didn't turn out how it should have.
Two of my favorite things in one recipe! This can’t be beat!
Thank you so much!
