1. PREHEAT OVEN TO 350 DEGREES. LIGHTLY SPRAY A 9X13 PAN WITH BAKING SPRAY, SET ASIDE.
WITH A HAND OR STAND MIXER, MIX TOGETHER THE CAKE MIX, PUMPKIN, WATER, EGGS AND OIL POUR BATTER INTO THE PREPARED PAN, AND BAKE AT 350 FOR 30-33 MINUTES, OR UNTIL TOOTHPICK INSERTED INTO THE CAKE COMES OUT CLEAN, AND CRUMB FREE.
AS SOON AS THE CAKE COMES OUT OF THE OVEN, WHILE IT IS STILL HOT, POKE HOLES INTO THE CAKE WITH THE END OF A WOODEN SPOON. IN A MICROWAVE SAFE BOWL, HEAT UP A 1/2 CUP OF THE CARAMEL SAUCE FOR ABOUT 20-30 SECONDS, JUST TO WARM. POUR THE WARM CARAMEL SAUCE OVER THE TOP OF THE HOT CAKE, MAKING SURE TO GET THE MAJORITY OF THE SAUCE INTO THE HOLES OF THE CAKE.
ONCE THE CAKE IS COOL, PREPARE THE CREAM CHEESE FROSTING. WITH A HAND OR STAND MIXER, CREAM TOGETHER THE CREAM CHEESE, POWDERED SUGAR AND MILK UNTIL SMOOTH AND CREAMY. ADD THE WHIPPED TOPPING, AND FOLD INTO THE CREAM CHEESE MIXTURE. SPREAD THE FROSTING OVER THE TOP OF THE CAKE.
DRIZZLE THE TOP OF THE CAKE WITH THE REMAINING 1/4 CUP OF CARAMEL SAUCE. REFRIGERATE ANY LEFTOVERS. ENJOY!
