Essential Ingredients
For the cake base:
- 1 box yellow cake mix
- 1 can (15 oz) pumpkin puree
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 4 eggs, room temperature
- 3/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup milk

- 1/2 tsp freshly grated nutmeg

Step-by-Step Preparation of pumpkin better than sex cake
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and generously grease a 9×13-inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, pumpkin puree, brown sugar, eggs, oil, and milk. Add the spice blend and beat until you have a smooth, homogeneous batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

- Slowly pour the sweetened condensed milk over the still-warm cake, ensuring it seeps into the holes.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the condensed milk to fully infuse.
- Before serving, whip the cream until stiff peaks form and spread it evenly over the cake.
- Top generously with caramel sauce and sprinkle with Skor toffee bits.
