Ingredients:
18 ounces yellow cake mix
1 cup pumpkin

12 ounces white frosting
1/4 cup pecans, toasted and chopped
2 tablespoons caramel topping

3. Beat 2 minutes on medium speed. Pour into pan.
4. Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until cake springs back when touched lightly in center.
5. Immediately poke cake with handle of wooden spoon halfway into cake.
6. Drizzle condensed milk evenly over top of cake and let stand until milk has been absorbed into cake (about 5 minutes).
7. Meanwhile, place hot fudge in medium microwavable bowl.
8. Microwave uncovered on high 15 to 30 seconds or until smooth.
9. Spoon and spread over cake, pressing slightly into holes.
