- 1 ½ teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 (15-oz) can pumpkin puree
- 4 eggs
- 1 cups granulated sugar
- ¾ cups vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup whole milk

- 1 cup heavy cream

Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Coat a 9×13-inch pan with cooking spray, olive oil, or butter. Set aside.
-
In a medium bowl, add the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, and salt. Whisk together to combine.
-
In a large bowl, add the pumpkin puree, eggs, granulated sugar, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Whisk together until fully combined.
-
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and whisk together until well combined and smooth.
-
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Set aside to cool for 10 minutes while you make the three milk mixture.
-
In a medium bowl, add the milk, sweetened condensed milk, and evaporated milk. Whisk together to combine.
-
Using a knife or a spatula, gently unstick the sides of the cake from the pan. Then, poke holes all over the cake using a skewer or a large fork. Gradually pour the three milk mixture over the cake. Cover and refrigerate for at least two hours to let the cake fully cool and absorb the liquid.
-
While the cake cools, make the whipped topping. In a large bowl, add the heavy cream, sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat on high speed using a handheld or stand mixer until soft peaks form. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
-
When the cake has cooled completely, top with the whipped topping and garnish with a dusting or sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice.
