Ingredients
-
1 box yellow cake mix (15.25 oz)
-
1 can pumpkin purée (15 oz)
-
1 can sweetened condensed milk (14 oz)
-
1 tub Cool Whip (8 oz)
-
½ bag Heath bits (4 oz)
-
Caramel sundae sauce (to taste)
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
-
In a large bowl, mix the dry cake mix and pumpkin purée until smooth (no eggs or oil needed).
-
Spread the batter into the dish and bake for 23–28 minutes.
-
Cool the cake for 10 minutes. Use the handle of a wooden spoon to poke holes all over the top.
-
Pour sweetened condensed milk over the cake, allowing it to soak in.
-
Refrigerate the cake for 30 minutes.
-
Spread Cool Whip over the chilled cake, then sprinkle with Heath bits.
-
Drizzle generously with caramel sauce.
-
Chill for 3–4 hours or overnight before serving.
Notes
Avoid overmixing; some lumps are fine.
The longer the cake chills, the better the flavor and texture.
Substitute Heath bits with pecans or crushed gingersnaps for variation.
Great make-ahead dessert for holidays and potlucks.
Use spice cake mix for extra fall flavor if desired.
