Ingredients
  

  • 1 15 oz box of butter pecan cake mix
  • 1 16 oz can of coconut pecan frosting
  • 4 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup of vegetable or canola oil
  • 1 cup of milk
  • 1/2 cup of finely chopped pecans

For the Sauce:

  • 1 14 oz can of sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/4 cup of unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup of finely chopped pecans

Instructions

  • Begin by preheating the oven to a temperature of 350°F. Concurrently, ensure that a 9x13-inch baking dish is appropriately greased to prevent sticking.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the butter pecan cake mix, coconut pecan frosting, eggs, oil, and milk. Using an electric mixer, blend the mixture until it achieves a smooth consistency.
  • Incorporate the chopped pecans into the mixture by gently folding them in.
  • Transfer the mixture to the previously greased baking dish.
  • Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 30-40 minutes. To ascertain the cake's readiness, insert a toothpick into the center. If it emerges clean, the cake is adequately baked.
  • Once removed from the oven, utilize the handle end of a wooden spoon to methodically poke holes throughout the entirety of the cake. Set the cake aside momentarily.
  • For the sauce, use a medium saucepan. Place it over medium heat and melt the unsalted butter. Subsequently, introduce the sweetened condensed milk to the pan, ensuring it's stirred thoroughly.
  • When the mixture achieves a simmering point, fold in the chopped pecans.
  • Remove the sauce from the heat source. Proceed to pour it uniformly over the cake, ensuring it permeates the holes and flows along the sides.
  • Allow the cake to cool to room temperature prior to serving.
