Pumpkin Lust Cake

I made this dessert for my birthday treat the other day. Yeah, I make my own birthday treats. I really do love to make treats the most, and when it is a new recipe I am kinda OCD and want to try it out myself and I have to admit I want to do it my way as well. :) 
I love Pumpkin and the this recipe has rave reviews. While I did love it, it wasn't as awesome as I thought it might be. It was so much better the next day though. So maybe let it set up in your fridge for quite some time before digging in. Also, the only place I could find the Jello Instant Pumpkin Spice Pudding was at Walmart. It is a seasonal item.
