Notes
Do not use pumpkin pie filling; use 100% pure pumpkin puree. Let the cake rest for 15 minutes before serving to allow the layers to set. For a nutty crunch, sprinkle 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts over the cake mix before adding the butter. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
