Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking pan and set aside.
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 well combined.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and stir until no dry streaks appear.
Spread the batter evenly in the prepared baking pan.
Bake for 40 to 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Let the cake cool completely after baking.
Poke holes evenly over the top of the cooled cake using a fork.
In a medium bowl, mix together the sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, half-and-half, and pumpkin pie spice.
Slowly pour the milk mixture over the cake, ensuring it soaks in the holes.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.
Top the chilled cake with whipped topping and sprinkle with extra pumpkin pie spice before serving.

Notes

This cake can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
Make sure to use pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling, for the best flavor.
For an extra kick, add a little more pumpkin pie spice to the milk mixture.
