After reading the reviews I omitted one egg white in the batter and about a half a stick of butter in the topping. I left out about 2/3 cup of the batter, 1/2 cup filling and 2/3 cup topping. My cake could have been a little bit more moist but otherwise it looked just like Kelsey's! Wonderful recipe and I will certainly make again.

Agree with one of the post below. Worked very hard on this cake but the results were less than desirable...I think this needs to be reworked. I used the spring-form pan and followed the directions to the letter. I cook and bake all the time and for the most part have no problems...this one had a problem! Too much for the 9" spring-form pan, bubbled over in gobs, good thing I had it on a cookie sheet. Also 1 TABLESPOON of baking power?????

the flavor of this cake was great but after 1 hr 40 min of baking and a tester coming out clean, it fell in the center and was clearly not cooked.

I agree with photofun's review of this recipe, I was sorely disappointed! Don't waste your time! I am a SEASONED baker and I too followed the recipe to the letter! The pan is NOT the right size at all, it made a huge mess all over my oven....which proceeded to later cause a fire! And that's only my first complaint!! The ratio of flour to butter in the crumb part of this recipe is OFF! It has too much butter because it wasn't a crumb texture at all in the finished product. The top of the cake burned, "crumb" sank into the cake itself, and the bottom of the cake was dry?? This was the worst cake I've EVER made in the over 25 years of baking I've done! I too feel as if I wasted a pound of butter and 2-1/2 hours of my life for a cake that was clearly not tested in the kitchens better for recipe accuracy! As Photofun stated, thank GOD I didn't wait till Thanksgiving to make this cake!

I think this needs to be reworked. I feel like I wasted a pound of butter and 7 eggs. I used the spring-form pan and followed the directions to the letter. I cook and bake all the time and for the most part have no problems...this one had a problem!
Too much for the 9" spring-form pan, bubbled over in gobs, The crumble was starting to get really well done and the cake was not done. After 1 hour 50 minutes I took it out. It was still showing signs of not being done in the center. After trying it, the outside of the cake was really well done, burnt in some parts on the edges, cake was dry and the pumpkin area in the middle of the cake was not completely done. Glad I tried this today instead of for Thanksgiving like I planned.
I would put this in a bigger pan like a baking dish perhaps or perhaps try and cut down the recipe to fit the pan better and keep it in. What a shame, had high hopes on this one.

Our family and guests devoured it.

Didn't have a springform pan, so made it in a deep-dish ceramic pot (Heath to be exact :o. Ran out of butter for the crumble so used half butter/half margarine.

Scooped it out with a large round spoon. It turned out great. The kids have already put it on the menu for Thanksgiving Day.
