Pumpkin Poke Cake
Description
This Pumpkin Poke Cake begins with a yellow cake mix combined with pumpkin puree and pumpkin pie spice for a subtly spiced, moist base. After baking, holes are poked into the cake to allow a mixture of sweetened condensed milk and caramel topping to seep deeply, keeping the cake rich and creamy. The final layer is a spiced Cool Whip spread over the top, adding lightness and a gentle cinnamon flavor. Crushed toffee candy bars scattered on top provide a contrasting crunch and sweetness.
The cake is best served chilled, allowing flavors to meld and the soaked topping to set. It can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to a week, making it a convenient dessert for holiday meals or parties. This cake balances pumpkin warmth with sweet caramel notes and crunchy toffee, offering a festive dessert for autumn occasions.
Store the cake in an airtight container or covered baking dish to maintain freshness up to 5 to 7 days in the fridge.
