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.
