Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Baking Dish
  • Saucepan

Ingredients

For the Cake

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

For the Sauce

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

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x11-inch baking dish.
  • In a large bowl, combine cake mix, coconut frosting, eggs, oil, and milk. Beat with an electric mixer until smooth.
  • Stir in 1/2 cup chopped pecans and pour the batter into the prepared baking dish.
  • Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Remove the cake from the oven and immediately use the handle of a wooden spoon to poke holes all over the cake.
  • In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the condensed milk and stir well.
  • Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then stir in the remaining chopped pecans.
  • Remove from heat and slowly pour the sauce over the warm cake, allowing it to fill the holes and run down the sides.
  • Let the cake cool completely before slicing and serving. Store in the refrigerator for best results.

Notes

For extra flavor, toast the pecans before adding them. Letting the cake chill overnight enhances the taste and texture. Serve with whipped cream or ice cream.
