Equipment

  • 9x13 inch Baking Dish
  • Mixing Bowl

Ingredients

Nuts

  • 1 cup Pecans, chopped

Filling

  • 1 can (15 oz) Sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 cup Corn syrup (light or dark)
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Cake Base

  • 1 box (15.25 oz) Yellow cake mix
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted butter, sliced into thin pats
  • 1 cup Water

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
  • Spread the chopped pecans evenly over the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk, corn syrup, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Whisk together until smooth.
  • Pour the filling mixture evenly over the chopped pecans in the baking dish.
  • Sprinkle the dry yellow cake mix evenly over the filling. Do not stir.
  • Arrange the butter pats evenly over the top of the dry cake mix.
  • Pour the cup of water evenly over the top.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 50 to 60 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
  • Allow the cake to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.

Notes

For extra crunch, toast the pecans lightly before adding them. Serve warm with ice cream for a delightful treat.
