Luscious Four-Layer Pumpkin Cake

Prep time: 20 min; total time: 1 hr 50 min
Serves 16
1 pkg. (2-layer size) yellow cake mix
1 can  (15 oz.) pumpkin, divided
1/2 cup milk
1/3 cup  oil
4 eggs
1-1/2 tsp.  pumpkin pie spice, divided
1 pkg. (8 oz.) cream cheese, softened
1 cup  powdered sugar
1 tub (8 oz.) Cool Whip, thawed
1/4 cup  caramel ice cream topping
1/4 cup chopped pecans
Heat oven to 350°F.  Beat cake mix, 1 cup pumpkin, milk, oil, eggs and 1 tsp. spice in large bowl with mixer until well blended.  Pour into 2 greased and floured 9-inch round pans.

Bake 28 to 30 min. or until toothpick inserted in centers comes out clean.  Cool in pans 10 min.  Remove from pans to wire racks; cool completely.

Beat cream cheese in medium bowl with mixer until creamy.  Add sugar, remaining pumpkin and spice; mix well.  Gently stir in Cool Whip.  Cut each cake layer horizontally in half with serrated knife; stack on serving plate, spreading cream cheese filling between layers (do not frost top layer).  Drizzle with caramel topping just before serving; top with nuts. Refrigerate leftovers.
