Pumpkin Better Than Sex Cake (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Cake Base

01 - 1 box (432 g) yellow cake mix
02 - 1 can (425 g) pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie mix)

→ Filling and Toppings

03 - 1 can (397 g) sweetened condensed milk (fat-free acceptable)
04 - 1 package (227 g) whipped topping, thawed
05 - 113 g toffee bits (Heath brand recommended)
06 - Caramel sundae sauce, for drizzling

# Instructions:

01 - In a large mixing bowl, blend the yellow cake mix with pumpkin puree until a smooth, lump-free batter forms.
02 - Distribute the batter evenly into two greased 23×33 cm (9×13-inch) baking dishes, or use one dish and slice the cake in half horizontally after baking. Bake in a preheated oven at 175°C for 23 to 28 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center emerges clean.
03 - Allow the baked cake(s) to cool for approximately 10 minutes after removal from the oven.
04 - Using the handle of a wooden spoon, poke holes uniformly across both cake layers to facilitate soaking.
05 - Pour half the sweetened condensed milk over the first cake layer and the remainder over the second, ensuring each layer is fully covered and the milk permeates the holes.
06 - Refrigerate both layers for 30 minutes to allow the condensed milk to be thoroughly absorbed.
07 - Place the first cake layer onto a serving dish. Evenly spread half of the whipped topping over the surface. Carefully position the second cake layer on top and cover with the remaining whipped topping.
08 - Generously sprinkle the toffee bits over the final whipped topping layer.
09 - Finish by drizzling caramel sundae sauce over the entire surface, adjusting the quantity to taste.
10 - Return the assembled cake to the refrigerator for 3 to 4 hours or overnight to allow flavors to develop before serving.

# Notes:

01 - For additional texture, some toffee bits may be folded into the cake batter prior to baking.
02 - Enhance caramel flavor by adding caramel sauce into the cake holes along with the sweetened condensed milk if desired.
03 - Prepared cake holds well and can be made up to one day in advance for convenience.
