Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking pan.
In a medium bowl, combine the cake mix, light brown sugar, and pumpkin pie spice.
In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, eggs, sour cream, oil, and vanilla until smooth.
Gradually add the dry mixture to the pumpkin mixture and stir until no dry streaks remain.
Spread the batter evenly in the prepared baking pan.
Bake for 40 to 50 minutes until the center is set; a toothpick inserted should come out clean or with moist crumbs.
Let the cake cool completely.
Poke holes evenly over the entire surface of the cake with a fork.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, half-and-half, and pumpkin pie spice.
Slowly pour the milk mixture over the cake, ensuring it seeps into the holes.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
Spread the thawed whipped topping over the chilled cake, and sprinkle with pumpkin pie spice before serving.

Notes

Make sure to use pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling, for the best flavor.
Chilling the cake overnight allows the flavors to meld beautifully.
This cake can be garnished with nuts or caramel sauce for added richness.
