Ingredients
- 1 box yellow cake mix (15.25 oz)
- 1 can pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie mix, 15 oz)
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk (fat-free is okay, 14 oz)
- 1 pkg Cool Whip (8 oz)
- 1/2 bag Heath bits (8 oz bag)
- Caramel sundae sauce
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C). In a large bowl, mix yellow cake mix with pumpkin puree until smooth.
- Divide batter into two greased 9Γ13-inch baking dishes. Bake according to package instructions (23-28 minutes) or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Allow cakes to cool for 10 minutes, then poke holes across the tops using a wooden spoon.
- Pour half of the sweetened condensed milk over each layer, ensuring it seeps into the holes.
- Refrigerate both layers for 30 minutes.
- Layer one cake on a serving dish and spread half of the Cool Whip over it. Place the second layer on top and cover with remaining Cool Whip.
- Sprinkle Heath bits on top and drizzle with caramel sauce before refrigerating again for 3-4 hours or overnight.
