Pecan Praline Cake – A Southern Delight!

  • 🍴 Instructions

    1. Prepare the Cake Batter:

    • In a large mixing bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, coconut pecan frosting, oil, water, and eggs.

    • Mix with an electric mixer until smooth and well combined.

    2. Add Pecans:

    • Gently fold in the ½ cup of finely chopped pecans into the batter, ensuring they’re evenly distributed.

    3. Bake the Cake:

    • Spread the batter evenly into a 9×13-inch baking dish that’s been greased.

    • Bake according to the cake mix box instructions (typically 350°F / 175°C) for about 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

    4. Prepare the Praline Topping:

    • While the cake is baking, in a saucepan over medium heat, add the unsalted butter and sweetened condensed milk.

    • Stir continuously until the butter is melted and the mixture is warm and smooth.

    5. Finish the Topping:

    • Remove the saucepan from the heat, then stir in the chopped pecans.

    6. Assemble & Serve:

    • Once the cake is done, immediately spread the warm praline topping evenly over the warm cake.

    • Serve warm and enjoy!
