• 1 container (8 oz) frozen whipped topping, thawed
• 1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)

Instructions:

Step 1: Prepare the Pumpkin Cake

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13-inch baking dish.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, eggs, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and ground cloves.
3. Mix until well combined, ensuring there are no lumps.
4. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.
5. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 2: Poke and Drizzle

1. While the cake is still warm, use the handle of a wooden spoon to poke holes all over the cake.
2. Pour the sweetened condensed milk over the warm cake, ensuring it seeps into the holes.
3. Drizzle about half of the caramel sauce over the cake.

Step 3: Add Whipped Topping and Nuts

1. Allow the cake to cool completely.
2. Once cooled, spread the thawed whipped topping over the cake.
3. Sprinkle chopped pecans or walnuts over the whipped topping if desired.

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy!
