Very easy to make and tastes phenomenal! Only thing I changed was that I eased up on the pumpkin paste for the icing.

<p>I followed this recipe with the exception of using vegetable oil because i didn't have canola oil and cool whip. This cake was awesome!!! I made it for Thanksgiving and it was a big hit! The pumkin with the carmel was a great combination. I would defintely recommend using the pecans to top. Would make this over and over again.</p>

Don't be afraid to try this one. A big hit at Thanksgiving. This one is in my recipe box as a new favorite. One guest carried it around for all to see before it was cut. It is so easy to make and goes quickly. Don't expect to have left overs!

I made this to take to work for our Thanksgiving feed. It was much easier to make than I anticipated! The cake and filling itself isn't too sweet, but the caramel sauce gives that extra little kick it needed! I only used a 12oz. carton of whipped topping and had MORE than enough filling! so much that I actually frosted the whole cake as well as put some between each layer! I roasted up some pecans with sugar and cinnamon, and they were delicious and crunchy with the dessert! I will definitely be making this again!

Super easy to make and really yummy. I substituted fresh whipped cream for the cool whip.

I made this just as a trial before our company pot luck Thanksgiving party. The cake was loved by all. From my level of baking, if it comes in a box and just needs eggs and oil I'm good, more than that and I'm in trouble. This cake however was a piece of cake!!!

I was looking for a recipe for pumpkin cake and this one was too pretty not to try. It was a very easy cake to make with ingredients I had on hand. What luck for me! Because it was the best pumpkin cake I've made yet!! It isn't a overly sweet cake but more of a refreshing cake, light and filling after a satisfying meal. The family toke pictures of it and sent to their friends, which brought them to the house for a slice! I can see this will be put on my cake list for the upcoming Thanksgiving dinner. A must try cake!!

Took this to a party. It was a huge hit and it looks so impressive. I use cranberries instead of nuts because of allergies of the group. Great hit.

This is a terrific cake, I have made it a couple of times, it looks hard, but it isn't that bad. You do have to watch the cake mix sizes at store, they are smaller than required in recipe and that makes a problem in trying to cut the layers in half.

Excellent cake. Good taste and fabulous look. Not too much work. And I used other spices combined to make my own pumpkin pie spice.

This recipe is definitely a keeper! I made it for a church fellowship yesterday. Had several compliments and folks asking for the recipe. The only thing I changed was what someone else had done and that was add a little more pumpkin pie spice. I also used walnuts instead of pecans and put it between each layer. Delicious and easy!

I was very happy with this easy-to-make yet impressive cake. I made it this past weekend for Canadian Thanksgiving and it was a hit. Light, with the right amount of spice (although I did add more pumpkin pie spice than called for in the cake as well as the frosting).

I have won a "best in show" award for this cake, also it brought over $100 dollars at a fundraising for basketball sports. It is delicious,light, and you always want more. I did tweak the recipe a little. I used applesauce instead of oil, Almonds instead of pecans, and added dried cranberries to the topping.Make and enjoy. I will make this again and again.

Since I found this recipe, I have made it over and over again! It satisfies the sweet tooth without being sticky sweet. It is easy to make and comes out great every time. There can't be any bad reviews about this one! My changes to this recipe are:

I don't use the caramel sauce-too sweet

I use two 8oz bars of cream cheese and a large cannister of Cool Whip.

Made this to take to card club. Wanted it easy to transport. Made it in a 9 x 13 pan. Mistakenly added the whole can of pumpkin to the cake batter. Baked it about 5 minutes longer. Got rave reviews. Making it again today for company. Not much time so will use canned cream cheese frosting. Its the caramel and nuts that add the wow factorf.

Sorry but this recipe is not an award winner in our family. I wish that I could say that this was as great tasting as the photo makes it look but I can?t. I am an experienced baker and I followed the directions to a tee but what I ended up with was a lop-sided and heavy mess. The cake was very condensed and thick in texture. The frosting tasted great and was as light tasting as it looks in the photo but the pecans on the top layer added a slightly bitter taste to the topping. The ingredient that made the taste unique was the caramel topping. My family and I agree that this recipe is not a keeper. BUT, I did use this frosting on a boxed spice cake, made as directed, and topped it with finely chopped walnuts and drizzled the caramel ice cream topping over the finished, frosted, cake. It was so delicious that I took it to our family reunion where it was a big hit and voted a keeper.
