This iconic whiskey is a "Jack of all trades" when it comes to cooking. Toss it in some pasta, as a savory dipping sauce, and even bake it into something sweet.
The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.

I've made this for years but I use a box of Jiffy cake mix as it's smaller than a regular box. That might be why some people had it turn out too dry. Everyone loves this recipe.

You do NOT mix the pumpkin as making pie. It goes in with the eggs and sugar, and is NOT premixed pumpkin pie MIX. It is just the 15 oz. can of pumpkin pulp. The melted butter is poured on top of the whole box of dry cake mix that has been sprinkled on top of the pumpkin mix in the cake pan. The nuts are sprinkled on the top of it all. It is almost like pumpkin pie when eaten.

I made the previous comment asking questions about the PUMPKIN BARS recipe. Ended up I didn't grease the pan, used a 9x13 glass, and although your recipe never said what to do with the melted butter, I drizzled it over the top of the dry cake mix. I thought it came out just as good as my friends and the aroma is everything pumpkin, fall and Thanksgiving should be.
I have 3 questions for those of you who have made this recipe: 1. Do you grease to 9x13 inch pan 2.Does glass or metal make a difference.3. I have a friend who gave me a recipe like this, she called it Pumpkin Upside-Down Cake and she poured the dry yellow cake mix over the Canned Pumpkin, but she actually follows the directions for Pumpkin Pie on the Can? Any ideas?
Your recipe does not say what to do with the melted butter. I ended up drizzling it on top of the cake mix prior to baking. Overall the taste was good - but presentation a bit weird. Like pumpkin pie on the bottom and cookie on the top. Was the entire cake mix to be dumped on top - or just a portion with the rest mixed into the pumpkin batter? Unfortunately I got too far into the process before I realized there were insufficient instructions.
this recipe doesn't say what to do with the melted butter. do you pour over the cake mix?

I have made this cake for years, but the secret to avoiding a dry top is this: Don't pour butter over the cake mixture. Mix the cake mixture with water until it's a crumbly dough. Sprinkle that over the pumpkin mixture. The cake topping comes out beautiful, and you avoid the dry powdery mess, plus it's healthier!

Taste was good, but the cake mix on top just turned into the sahara dessert. It was all powdery and dry. I think we may try the recipe again but thi time mix the cake mix in with the other ingredients.
