Ingredients
For the cake:
- 1 (15.25 oz) box Butter Pecan Cake Mix
- 1 tub Coconut Pecan Frosting
- 4 large eggs
- ¾ cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup water
- ½ cup chopped pecans
For the sauce:
- 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
- 2 tablespoons salted butter
- ½ cup chopped pecans
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F degrees. Spray a 9″x 13″ baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
- In a medium bowl (or your stand mixer bowl), combine all the cake ingredients except for the chopped pecans. Mix very well.
- Then stir in ½ cup chopped pecans.
- Pour batter into greased baking dish.
- Bake for about 40 minutes. Oven times vary but cake should spring back to the touch and be golden brown. Or insert a toothpick into the middle it should come out clean.
- For the sauce: In a small pot over medium heat (or in a microwave), melt 2 tablespoons butter.
- Pour in can of sweetened condensed milk with the melted butter and stir.
- Continue to stir until heated thoroughly, then add ½ cup chopped pecans. Stir again then take off heat.
- Then spoon this deliciously yummy sauce over individual slices of cake when serving. Or pour it all over the whole cake.
Notes
- You can also make this in a bundt pan. Bake for about 50 minutes.
- I prefer to pour the sauce over the individual slices. I think it makes a prettier presentation but you don’t have to do that. You can just pour all of the sauce over the entire cake.
