Notes

There are lots of ways to add variety to this cake. Try any of these to change it up:
  • Use a spice cake mix instead of yellow cake mix
  • Try crushed Butterfingers candy bars on top instead of toffee
  • Cinnamon sugar graham crackers instead of plain graham crackers
  • Walnuts or any favorite nut instead of pecans (also consider adding nuts to the pumpkin mixture)
  • Add chocolate chips on top or in between the layers
  • Top with vanilla ice cream
