Pumpkin Better than Anything Cake

A 9x13 pumpkin poke cake made from yellow cake mix, canned pumpkin, and pumpkin pie spice, soaked with sweetened condensed milk through holes spaced about an inch apart, then finished with whipped topping, caramel sauce, and toffee bits. Chills for at least 2 hours, though the texture continues to firm up and deepen in flavor up to 24 hours later.

Instructions
