Pumpkin Better Than Sex Cake

When I first heard of using nothing but Pumpkin puree and a boxed cake mix to bake a cake I was very....doubtful, critical...I don't know. It just didn't sound right to me. A cake needs eggs and oil or applesauce. I mean...how can a cake bake properly without traditional ingredients. But I decided how hard is it to just give it a shot. The worst that can happen is I dump this dump cake into the garbage. But I let the missionaries and my family try it before I did and they all loved it. As I took my bite wondering if they were playing a trick on me I was pleasantly surprised. It was actually good. So itv you wanna give a non traditional cake a try...here you go.

Ingredients

1 box    yellow cake mix
1 can    15 oz pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
1 can    14 oz sweetened condensed milk
1 tub    cool whip
1/2 bag heath toffee bits
             caramel ice cream sauce

Directions

1
 In a large bowl, mix together the cake mix and pumpkin puree until a smooth batter forms.
2
 Pour batter into a greased 9×13 baking dish, and bake at 350º, according to the directions on the cake mix box (approx 23-28 mins).
3
 Remove cake from oven and let cool for about 10 minutes after baking.
4
 Using the end of a wooden spoon to poke holes all over the top of the cake.
5
 Pour the sweetened condensed milk over the cake. This should fill in the holes and soak into the cake.
6
 Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
7
 Remove cake from refrigerator and spread cool whip over top of cake. Sprinkle on the heath bits, and drizzle caramel over top. (note: if you want it less sweet you can use less of the jar)
8
 Refrigerate for 3-4 hours, or overnight

-just a pinch :D
