Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a large mixing bowl, mix together spice cake mix, milk, butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and pumpkin puree with an electric mixer until smooth. Pour prepared batter into a 9x13" baking dish sprayed with cooking spray.
Bake for the recommend time on the spice cake mix box (usually 30-40 minutes).
Allow cake to cool in the baking pan. Once cool, use a fork or toothpick to poke holes all over surface of the cake.
In a large bowl, stir together 8oz heavy cream, sweetened condensed milk, and coffee creamer. Pour mixture over top of cooled cake. Allow mixture to soak in for 30 minutes to an hour.
Whip remaining heavy cream with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Gently fold in powdered sugar. Spread prepared whipped cream over cake.
Sprinkle cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice on top.
Notes
Best made the night before so the cake can fully soak; add whipped cream just before serving.
Cool completely before soaking - warm cake won’t absorb evenly.
Drizzle milk mixture slowly to prevent pooling.
Use a fork (not a wooden spoon handle) to poke holes for better absorption.
Chill bowl and beaters before whipping cream so it sets up better.
Storage: cover and refrigerate up to 4 days. Do not freeze.
