For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding 1/2 cup of chopped pecans or walnuts to the cake mix before sprinkling it over the pumpkin layer. If you prefer a less sweet dessert, reduce the sugar to 1 cup. To prevent the edges from browning too quickly, you can tent the baking pan with aluminum foil during the last 20 minutes of baking. For a spiced variation, add 1/4 teaspoon each of ground nutmeg and ground cloves to the pumpkin mixture.
