  • Total Time: 3 hours 10 minutes
  • Yield: 12 slices

Ingredients

  • 15.25 oz box yellow cake mix (do not add box instructions)
  • 15 oz can pumpkin purée
  • 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
  • 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk
  • 8 oz container whipped topping, thawed
  • ½ cup toffee bits
  • ½ cup caramel sauce
  • Non-stick cooking spray (for greasing)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish with cooking spray.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine yellow cake mix, pumpkin purée, and pumpkin pie spice. Mix with an electric mixer until smooth.
  3. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
  4. Bake for 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the cake starts to pull away from the edges.
  5. Let the cake cool completely to room temperature.
  6. Use a skewer or straw to poke holes all over the cake, about 1 inch apart.
  7. Pour the sweetened condensed milk evenly over the top of the cake. Chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
  8. Spread the whipped topping evenly over the cake.
  9. Drizzle caramel sauce over the whipped topping and sprinkle with toffee bits.
  10. Cover the cake with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.

Notes

  • Make ahead for convenience—the flavor improves after chilling.
  • Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
  • Try different toppings like crushed gingersnaps or chopped pecans for variety.
  • Use homemade whipped cream if preferred for a richer flavor.
