This cake is unforgettably moist and delicious, and not too sweet. The frosting's subtle maple flavor is the perfect accompaniment to the pumpkin cake. .—Taste of Home Test Kitchen

Made this for a fall birthday. Delicious cake, although I make cream cheese frosting instead of the recipe's icing. It was a hit at the party. Also easy way to decorate.

Everything went fine until I put the frosting on the Torte. What a mess! Slip sliding away! Toothpicks all over! The cake is nice and moist but could hardly taste the pumpkin in it. It tasted more like a spice cake than anything. For all my effort I was very disappointed. 15 minutes of beating the frosting was not worth the effort.

I agree, the cake was good but would do a cream cheese frosting next time. My cake slid all around too!

The cake was deliciously moist, next time I will use less ginger (my family doesn't like the spice),but they absolutely loved the frosting. I used real grade B maple syrup. The layers did slip, I had to stick in skewers also! Next time I will probably leave it in one layer and pile the frosting on top. But the cake is a definite keeper!

made this for a halloween party yesterday. it was delicious but had a problem with layers shifting.finally propped it up with turkey skewers and called it a disaster cake. everyone thought it looked like a halloween cake which meant it didnt look perfect but it tasted delicious.

The cake was absolutely delicious, but I did not really like the maple syrup frosting. If i make again I will use cream cheese icing instead.
