Pumpkin Pie Cake

My husband loves a cake I make for him, oh so often!  It's not this cake...but it does resemble it.  The cake that my husband prefers contains a few different ingredients, such as pineapple and canned cherry pie filling.  My daughter-in-law made this Pumpkin Pie Cake a few years ago and I thought about it recently when thinking about something "pumpkin" to make for Thanksgiving Dinner. I'm not a big pumpkin pie fan, so this is a good substitution.  What I like best...It's easy to make.
