Equipment
- 9×13 inch baking dish
- Mixing bowl
- Rubber spatula or spoon
- Whisk or electric mixer
- Toothpick (for testing doneness)
Ingredients
- 1 box yellow cake mix any brand
- 1 can pumpkin puree not pumpkin pie filling
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk
- ½ cup toffee bits or Heath bits
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 cup caramel sauce
- ½ cup chopped pecans
- 8 oz frozen whipped topping thawed
Instructions
Step 1: Prep The Oven And Pan:
- Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish or coat it with nonstick spray.
Step 2: Mix The Batter:
- In a large bowl, stir together a box of yellow cake mix and one can of pumpkin puree. That’s it no eggs, oil, or water. Mix until the batter is smooth.
Step 3: Bake It:
- Pour the batter into the greased dish, spread it out evenly, and bake for about 30 to 35 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center if it comes out clean, it’s ready.
Step 4: Poke The Cake:
- Let the cake cool for 10–15 minutes. Then use the handle of a wooden spoon or a skewer to poke holes all over the surface.
Step 5: Add The Condensed Milk:
- Pour a can of sweetened condensed milk over the cake, making sure it seeps into the holes. Let it sit and cool completely.
Step 6: Top It Off:
- Once the cake is cool, spread whipped topping over the surface. Sprinkle with toffee bits, chopped pecans, a little brown sugar, and a dash of pumpkin pie spice.
Step 7: Caramel Drizzle:
- Drizzle a cup of caramel sauce over the top. You can add more just before serving if you want it extra rich.
Step 8: Chill And Serve:
- Refrigerate the cake for at least 2 hours, or overnight if you can wait. Serve it chilled in slices.
