Ingredients
For the Cake:
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 box yellow cake mix 15.25 oz
- 1 can 15 oz pumpkin puree
- 4 oz cream cheese softened
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- ¼ teaspoon ground ginger

- 1 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup caramel sauce
- 4 oz toffee bits Heath or Skor pieces work well
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat and Prepare
- Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Step 2: Mix the Cake Batter
- In a large bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, pumpkin puree, softened cream cheese, brown sugar, vegetable oil, and spices like ginger, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Beat everything together until the batter is smooth and well blended.
Step 3: Bake the Cake
- Pour the batter evenly into your prepared baking dish. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Once done, remove from the oven and let it cool for about 15 minutes.
Step 4: Add Sweet Layers
- Using the handle of a wooden spoon, gently poke holes all over the warm cake. Slowly pour sweetened condensed milk over the surface, letting it seep into each hole. Follow up by drizzling caramel sauce generously across the top.
Step 5: Final Toppings
- After the cake has completely cooled, spread thawed whipped topping evenly over it. Sprinkle with toffee bits and, if you like, drizzle a bit more caramel sauce on top. For the best flavor and texture, chill the cake in the refrigerator for at least one hour before serving.
