When I made this I followed the directions exactly except that I used 3/4c sugar and 1/3 c splenda. Couldn't tell it had splenda at all AND it still tasted plenty sweet enough with way fewer calories. I loved the cream cheese frosting. I will definitely be making this again.

    This recipe tastes good and it's really moist. My only problem was I thought this was going to be bars and I got more of a pumpkin cake. Maybe that's the way it's suppose to be, not sure.

    These are by far the best tasting bars/cake you can find when it comes to pumpkin. It is very good. I can't believe I haven't rated this yet. I made it exactly and will be making it again and again.

    These are my favorite of all. I make mine into mini muffins and swirl the frosting on each one using a pastry tip. I couldn't get my hands on my magazine and out of desperation checked here. Lucky me, you did! Thanks for posting. It made 3 mini-muffin pans, 72, andthey were done approximately 13 minutes.
