Ingredients

  • 1 box spice cake mix
  • 1 can (15 oz) pumpkin purée
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 container (8 oz) whipped topping (like Cool Whip)
  • 1 cup toffee bits or crushed Heath bars
  • 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice (optional)
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, mix spice cake mix, pumpkin purée, and eggs until combined (do not add ingredients from the cake box instructions).
  3. Pour batter into prepared dish and bake 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  4. While warm, poke holes all over the cake using the handle of a wooden spoon.
  5. Slowly pour sweetened condensed milk over the cake, letting it soak into the holes.
  6. Cool cake completely, then refrigerate at least 1 hour or overnight.
  7. Spread whipped topping evenly over chilled cake.
  8. Sprinkle toffee bits or crushed Heath bars on top. Dust with cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice if desired. Serve chilled.

Notes

  • Try yellow or white cake mix with added pumpkin spice for a flavor twist.
  • Mix crushed graham crackers or gingersnaps with the toffee topping for extra crunch.
  • Drizzle with caramel sauce for extra indulgence.
  • Use homemade whipped cream whipped to stiff peaks instead of Cool Whip if preferred.
  • Best made ahead—flavors improve after chilling overnight.
