Instructions
Preparation
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.
In a large bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, vegetable oil, and eggs. Mix with an electric mixer on medium speed until well combined.
Baking
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and bake in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Soaking and Topping
Once the cake is cool, poke holes all over the top with a fork. In a separate bowl, mix the sweetened condensed milk with half of the caramel sauce (reserve the other half for serving).
Pour the milk-caramel mixture over the cake, allowing it to soak into the holes, then cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
After chilling, spread the whipped topping over the cake. Drizzle the remaining caramel sauce on top and sprinkle with chopped pecans if desired.
Slice and serve this rich cake chilled or at room temperature.
Notes
Store any leftover cake in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze wrapped in plastic wrap and aluminum foil for 2-3 months. Do not overmix the batter and ensure to poke the holes generously for better soaking.
