Have made this cake on several occasions and it never fails to receive compliments. Delicious twist on a spice/pumpkin cake. The icing is a step up from the regular cream cheese icing. Making it tonight for our youth at church tomorrow. They love it.

My husband's favorite! We make it all the time and never get sick of it. It is so moist and the frosting is to die for!

Very moist cake. Love the walnuts. The frosting was a little bland, but I used light brown instead of dark brown sugar and that could have been why. If not, easy fix would be to use regular cream cheese.

My favorite type of recipe...few ingredients, easy to make & yet BIG payoff. It was delicious!!! Made it for our ladies' group this morning and received many requests for the recipe. Followed it except for the frosting--had and extra 1/2 cup of Cool Whip in the container and added all of it with excellent results. This is definitely going in the "keeper" file! :o)

I didn't have a spice cake mix, so I used a carrot cake mix and added pumpkin spice to the mix. I made it for my husbands place of business and it was gone in minutes and they want more. I also dripped a simple glaze on top. Thanks Kraft.
