Better Than Sunshine Cake

I know what you are thinking, you've made this before. But alas, you probably haven't. This is Better Than Sunshine PUMPKIN Cake. So good.

Better Than Sunshine Pumpkin Cake
1 white or yellow cake mix
1 cup canned pumpkin
1/2 cup water
1/3 cup vegetable oil (can substitute applesauce for part of the oil)
4 eggs (Can use egg whites only, but be sure to use more eggs)
2 tsp. pumpkin pie spice
1/4 tsp. nutmeg

Topping:
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1 jar caramel or fudge ice cream topping
1 container of cool whip
chopped nuts - optional
shaved chocolate - optional

1. Heat over to 350. Grease a 9x13 baking dish.
2. In a large bowl beat cake ingredients together. Pour into pan and bake for 25-30 minutes until done. Remove from oven.
3. Immediately poke the top of the cake with a handle of a cooking spoon. Pour sweetened condensed milk over the top of the cake. After it absorbs, next pour either caramel or fudge topping over the cake. (the fudge may needed to be warmed before pouring)
4. Place cake in the fridge for a few hours until well chilled. Once cooled, frost with cool whip. Sprinkle cake with nuts or shaved chocolate and a little of the caramel or fudge if desired.

**I like the caramel the best, but that might be because I don't eat chocolate. Although, the hubby like the caramel as well, but a friend of mine liked the chocolate one better. Try them both!
