Make the top layer - Add remainder of the cake mix to a bowl and add melted butter and salted caramel sugar. Mix together until a crumble forms and place in the refrigerator.
Cover with a lid and cook on high for 1 1/2 hours. Then add crumble topping and continue to cook for 30 minutes.
Notes
If you're unable to find the spice blends that I used, you can use pumpkin spice for the pumpkin cake layer and cinnamon sugar for the cream cheese swirl and topping. Just sprinkle cinnamon sugar on top instead of brown sugar and proceed as normal.
For best results, when adding the cake mix on top, be sure to add all of the ingredients in an even layer. As they cook, this will ensure that they cook evenly and that there are no dry patches of flour on top.
If you're making this cake for a party or gathering, once the cake is finished baking, set the temperature to warm and has that "fresh out of the oven" taste all day long!
