Moist pumpkin cake infused with caramel bourbon glaze, topped with whipped cream and crunchy pecans.

# List of Ingredients:

→ Cake

01 - 1 box (15 oz) pumpkin spice cake mix
02 - 1 cup water
03 - 1/2 cup vegetable oil
04 - 3 large eggs

→ Glaze

05 - 1 cup caramel sauce
06 - 2 tablespoons bourbon

→ Topping

07 - 1 cup whipped cream
08 - 1/2 cup chopped pecans

# Preparation Steps:

01 - Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease a 9×13-inch baking pan. In a large bowl, mix the pumpkin spice cake mix, water, vegetable oil, and eggs until the batter is smooth and uniform. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pan.
02 - Bake the batter for 25 to 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
03 - In a small bowl, whisk together caramel sauce and bourbon until smooth. Using a skewer or fork, poke holes evenly across the warm cake surface. Slowly pour the caramel bourbon mixture over the cake, allowing it to seep into the holes. Let cool completely to room temperature. Spread whipped cream evenly on top and sprinkle with chopped pecans before serving.

# Additional Suggestions:

01 - Ensure the cake is still warm when pouring the glaze for optimal absorption.
