Ingredients
Scale
1 (15 oz) box butter pecan cake mix
1 (16 oz) can coconut pecan frosting
4 large eggs
3/4 cup vegetable or canola oil
1 cup milk
1 1/2 cups chopped pecans, divided
1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
1/4 cup butter
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- In a large bowl, beat cake mix, frosting, eggs, oil, and milk with a mixer until smooth. Fold in 1/2 cup pecans. Pour into prepared pan.
- Bake for 30-40 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
- While cake bakes, make sauce: Melt butter in a saucepan. Add condensed milk, whisk, and simmer for 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in remaining 1 cup pecans.
- As soon as cake is out of the oven, poke holes all over with a wooden spoon handle. Slowly pour warm sauce over cake, spreading to fill holes.
- Let cake cool completely before slicing and serving.
Notes
- For deeper flavor, toast the pecans before using.
- Cake can be made a day ahead; add sauce just before serving.
- Store covered at room temperature or in the refrigerator.
