Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 box (15.25 ounces / 432 grams) yellow cake mix
- 1 can (15 ounces / 425 grams) pumpkin puree
- 1 can (14 ounces / 397 grams) sweetened condensed milk
Topping Ingredients:
- 1 package (8 ounces / 227 grams) Cool Whip
- 1/2 bag (4 ounces / 113 grams) Heath bits
Sauce Ingredient:
- Caramel sundae sauce
Instructions
- Prepare the cake base by blending yellow cake mix with pumpkin puree until a smooth, lump-free consistency develops.
- Transfer the batter into a greased 9×13-inch baking pan and bake at 350°F for 25-30 minutes, ensuring a golden surface and checking doneness with a toothpick.
- Allow the cake to cool for approximately 10 minutes after removing from the oven.
- Create multiple strategic punctures across the entire cake surface using a wooden spoon handle, enabling better liquid absorption.
- Generously distribute sweetened condensed milk over the cake, ensuring each hole receives an even coating for maximum moisture penetration.
- Refrigerate the milk-soaked cake for 30 minutes to facilitate complete liquid integration.
- Apply a generous layer of Cool Whip across the entire cake surface, creating a smooth, even white blanket.
- Scatter Heath bits liberally over the whipped topping, providing a delightful crunchy texture and caramel undertone.
- Drizzle caramel sauce in an artistic pattern, controlling the intensity of sweetness according to personal preference.
- Chill the completed dessert for 3-4 hours, allowing flavors to harmonize and develop a rich, decadent profile before serving.
Notes
- Enhance cake moisture by using pure pumpkin puree instead of canned pie filling for a richer, more authentic pumpkin flavor.
- Customize sweetness levels by adjusting the amount of condensed milk and caramel sauce according to personal taste preferences.
- Consider using gluten-free cake mix and dairy-free whipped topping to make this dessert suitable for different dietary restrictions.
- Prevent cake from sticking by thoroughly greasing the baking pan and using parchment paper for easy removal.
