Description

An ultra-moist, indulgent pumpkin poke cake topped with sweetened condensed milk, whipped topping, caramel, and toffee bits. Easy, no-mixer required!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box yellow cake mix

  • 1 can (15 oz) pumpkin puree

  • 2 tbsp brown sugar

  • 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice

  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk

  • 1 tub (8 oz) whipped topping (Cool Whip or stabilized whipped cream)

  • 1 cup toffee bits (or chopped Heath/Skor bars)

  • 1 cup caramel sauce

  • Optional: sea salt flakes, chopped pecans


Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 baking dish.

  • In a bowl, mix cake mix, pumpkin puree, brown sugar, and pumpkin pie spice until smooth.

  • Pour into pan and bake for 20–25 minutes. Let cool for 15 minutes.

  • Poke holes over the cake (about 1 inch apart).

  • Pour sweetened condensed milk evenly over the cake.

  • Chill for 30 minutes to allow the milk to soak in.

  • Spread whipped topping evenly over the chilled cake.

  • Top with toffee bits and drizzle with caramel sauce.

 

  • Chill for at least 3 hours or overnight before serving.

Notes

  • Don’t overmix the batter—gentle folding keeps it light.

  • Chill overnight for best flavor and texture.

  • Make it ahead for parties or holidays.

 

  • Substitute chocolate cake mix for a richer variation.
