Instructions

Heat the oven to 350°F. Spray a 9x13 inch baking pan with cooking spray. Set aside.
Whisk to combine the pumpkin puree, evaporated milk, brown sugar, eggs, and pumpkin pie spice together in a mixing bowl.Pour the pumpkin batter into the prepared baking pan.
Spread the cake mix evenly over the pumpkin, then pour the butter over the top. Sprinkle the top with pecans and toffee pieces.
Bake for 50 to 55 minutes, and then check for doneness with a toothpick. The cake is done when it is no longer super jiggly in the center, but it will still jiggle some. The toothpick may have a little bit of pumpkin residue, similar to a pumpkin pie, on it. This is normal, the cake will firm up as it cools!
Remove the cake and let it cool for 15 minutes. Serve warm with whipped cream or ice cream on top.
