I have made this recipe several times over the years. I prefer making it in loaf pans, adding a few nuts and using as a pumpkin bread. I think the frosting makes it too sweet.

I wish the recipe would state to use the cake mix dry, & not to make as directed on the box...I read another review where someone else messed it up as well! I read the follow up from KRAFT kitchens wrong. I thought "HUM" I would have just followed the ingredients listed on the recipe. SO much for speed reading! You could say it's my fault, I agree somewhat however, if we are questioning it, I think it should be corrected. thus, 3 stars

I thought this was pretty good...I expected more spice though. I wish i knew how I could spice it up to my liking...I may have to do some experimenting. I though the icing was just okay. Maybe next time I'll try a different icing recipe. Overall, it was good but just needs that something else...

The cake was very moist and that was the best part. To my family and me there was not a lot of spice when made as is. I didn't alter this recipe at all. The frosting is not good at all with this!

This cake is excellent. Pumpkin-y, spicy, and SO moist. Highly recommended -- great for company or just a treat to have around in the fall months. :-)

This cake is out of this world amazing! Plus it's really easy to make. I don't consider myself that great of a baker, but it turned out perfectly the first time. Absolutely delicious...a recipe I'll make again and again.
