I made this cake for an Oktoberfest celebration and it went over very well. It was moist and had a very good flavor, according to the guests. The struesel filling in the middle was an added bonus. I used home grown roasted Kabocha squash puree which I think is more flavorful than canned pumpkin.
It would be helpful to know the size of the can of pumpkin.
When a recipe doesn't specify a size, use the "most common" size. In this case, it's about a 15 ounce can.
