For the Cake:
1 box of spice cake mix (or yellow cake mix)
1 cup canned pumpkin puree
3 large eggs
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
1/2 cup water
For the Topping:
1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
1 cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
1 tub (8 oz) whipped topping (like Cool Whip)
1/2 cup toffee bits (or chopped toffee bars)
1/4 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
For the Cake:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease or line a 9×13-inch baking dish with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, canned pumpkin, eggs, vegetable oil, cinnamon, nutmeg, and water. Stir until smooth and well combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.
Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool for about 15 minutes.
For the Topping:
Once the cake has cooled slightly, use a fork or skewer to poke holes all over the cake, making sure not to go too deep. This will allow the filling to soak into the cake.
In a small bowl, mix the sweetened condensed milk and caramel sauce together until smooth.
Pour the sweetened condensed milk mixture evenly over the cake, ensuring it fills the holes. Let the cake absorb the liquid as it cools for another 20 minutes.
Assembling the Cake:
Spread the whipped topping evenly over the cake.
Sprinkle the toffee bits and chopped nuts (if using) on top.
Drizzle extra caramel sauce over the top if desired for an added touch of sweetness.
Chill and Serve:
Refrigerate the cake for at least 2-3 hours, or overnight, to allow the flavors to meld together.
Cut into squares and serve chilled.
For an extra rich flavor, you can use homemade caramel sauce instead of store-bought.
To make the cake even more indulgent, add a layer of chopped chocolate or chocolate chips between the whipped topping and toffee bits.
You can also use a spice or pumpkin cake mix for a more intense pumpkin flavor.
