Time to Cook

Prep: 15 minutes | Cook: 30 minutes | Total: 45 minutes | Difficulty: Easy | Make-Ahead: Yes, you can prepare it a day in advance.

Steps to Make It

1. Preheat your oven to 350 °F. The warm air will fill your kitchen with a delightful aroma as it heats up.
2. In a large bowl, combine the spice cake mix, pumpkin puree, water, and eggs. Mix until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes. You want a nice, thick batter without lumps.
3. Pour the batter into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish. Spread it evenly, and watch it settle beautifully into the pan.
4. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. The edges should be lightly golden and the top springy to the touch.
5. While the cake is cooling, mix the sweetened condensed milk and cinnamon in a bowl until well combined. This will be your delicious filling.
6. Once the cake is cool, poke holes all over the top using a fork. This allows the sweetened condensed milk mixture to soak in, creating a moist and flavorful dessert.
7. Pour the sweetened condensed milk mixture over the cake, making sure to fill all the holes. Let it sit for about 10 minutes to absorb.
8. Top with whipped topping and sprinkle with chopped nuts if desired. This adds a lovely texture and a bit of crunch.
9. Slice and serve this delightful cake to your family and friends. They’ll be asking for seconds, I promise!

Make It Perfect

• For a richer flavor, use milk instead of water in the cake mix.
• Make sure to let the cake cool completely before poking holes.
• Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Mix It Up

• Try adding chocolate chips to the batter for a sweet twist.
• Substitute pumpkin with sweet potato for a different flavor profile.

Perfect Partners

• Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
• Pair with a warm cup of spiced chai or apple cider.
