Tammy's Review: 

This is a soft spicy pumpkin sheet cake, and the frosting goes perfectly with the cake. It's easy to make and always goes over well.

The frosting is one of the best cream cheese frosting recipes I've ever tasted. Sometimes I cut the cake in half and stack it for a two-layer look. Either way, this is a really simple and easy autumn cake! My rating: 10/10

absolutely delicious!

I made this one of my desserts for after Christmas dinner. I served 12 people and all of them came back with positive remarks! My mother and MIL both wanted to have the recipe! The cake is moist and the frosting is a perfect ratio to the cake. Instead of using cinnamon, I substituted pumpkin pie spice and still had a very yummy cake!

I love how it feeds a crowd very easily! Definitely will make this again!

Delicious and Moist

Just made this last night and it was delicious. The icing was very sweet so I think next time I'll cut back on the sugar. It was a big hit in at the office where I work. Very moist and I'll definitely be making it again soon.

Super moist!!

I made this cake with half fresh roasted pumpkin with a little canned to supplement (using up leftovers). It turned out beautifully. My husband loved licking the frosting off the beaters. :-P

Wow, this is so good...

I agree with Tammy. The frosting on this cake is amazing! I thought with 2 cups of sugar it would be very sweet but it has a nice level of sweetness. Very moist with a light pumpkin flavor. I think my oven is calibrated higher. My cake came out perfectly done after about 20 minutes, so I would recommend watching the bake time. Other than that, a real winner!
