Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box yellow cake mix
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup water
- 2 tablespoons pumpkin pie spice
- 1 cup caramel sauce
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 container whipped topping
- 1/2 cup toffee bits
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9×13 inch cake pan by greasing it.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, pumpkin puree, eggs, vegetable oil, water, and pumpkin pie spice. Mix until smooth and well combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool for 10 minutes before poking holes all over the top using a fork.
- In a separate bowl, combine the caramel sauce and sweetened condensed milk, then pour this mixture over the cake, ensuring it seeps into the holes.
- Chill the cake in the refrigerator for about 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld.
- Before serving, spread the whipped topping over the chilled cake, then sprinkle with toffee bits, chopped pecans, and a sprinkle of sea salt.
Notes
For a richer flavor, use homemade pumpkin puree and serve with extra caramel sauce on the side.
