I decided to make cupcakes with this recipe, and used my own icing (fat-free). It turned out wonderful! Next time I 'load' the cupcake papers though, I will try to flatten the batter before baking. I thought it would spread out to make a smooth top but putting icing on them covered up the bumpy tops! I love the fact there is no fat, no eggs; just start with a basic cake mix. Thank you for allowing us to have this delicious "diabetic friendly" dessert!

It was awesome to make this cake with pumpkin so simple and easy and you can add any toppings you want. I added some strawberries and it gave it a fresh kick.

Made this for a family gathering where I knew one person in attendance was diabetic. She loved it and asked for the recipe, as did everyone else who tried it. No one could believe it had reduced sugar and no eggs or oil! I did make a couple changes to my recipe: I used a devil's food cake mix (which actually was more like 16 oz), a reduced fat cream cheese (instead of fat free), and regular whipped topping. Would definitely make this again! Also, toasting the almonds before you sprinkle them on top really brings out the almond flavor, and only takes about 2 minutes in the oven at a high temp, so it's totally worth the effort.

So moist and chewy delicious!!!I served it to friends and bible study and all loved it. Today I tried switching it up by adding the pumpkin to a spice cake mix, adding shredded carrots and minced pineapple. Then I switched the chocolated pudding to vanilla. Sprinkled with almonds only, no whip topping needed.

I haven't made it yet, do you make the cake mix then add the pumpkin, not clear to me, sounds very yummy can't wait to try it.

Combine the dry cake mix with the pumpkin, it will come together nicely to form the batter for the base.

I made this using the Pillsbury sugar-free chocolate cake mix, and it turned out great. Took it to a potluck where it was a big hit, with several requests for the recipe.

Charlene is right. Every so often an ad appears on the right that you cannot get rid of, even if you click the print icon and make the right choices.

To charlenepaugustyn ~ it sounds like you're printing the entire page when you print a recipe. Instead, click on the "Print" icon to the right of the recipe picture, and you only print the recipe, even getting the option to not print the picture and/or nutrition info! I hope this helps you.

To the right of the recipe picture, there is an icon marked "print" - click on this, it will show a new page with just the picture and the recipe on it.  You can print off this page in different sizes (look to the left).  I always print them this way, have never had an ad print off with it.

. Do I mix the cake mix as directed on the box and then add the pumpkin or just mix the cake mix right from the box w/the pumpkin?

Just mix the dry cake mix and the can of pumpkin, nothing else. It's easier to mix with a mixer, it produces a fairly stiff batter.  It produces an incredibly moist, fudgie brownie like cake.

I have a question that needs to be answered before I can make this. Do I mix the cake mix as directed on the box and then add the pumpkin or just mix the cake mix right from the box w/the pumpkin?

This recipe sounds very good & I will be trying it soon. One BIG complaint, why do we have to print our copy with a commercial on the side, for Bank of America? This uses up all of my colored ink & this is so tacky, you cannot delete it. Please do not include a commercial when we go to print a recipe. Thanks

This sounds wonderful! Would it work with the new Pillsbury sugar-free chocolate cake mix? Also, you can use Smucker's sugar-free ice cream toppings for the drizzled toppings and sugar-free whipped topping as well.
