Ingredients

For the Cake:

• 1 box butter pecan cake mix (plus ingredients required on the box)

• 1 can sweetened condensed milk

• 1 jar caramel sauce

• 1 cup chopped pecans, toasted

For the Whipped Cream Topping:

• 1 cup heavy whipping cream

• 2 tbsp powdered sugar

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

For the Praline Sauce:

• ½ cup butter

• 1 cup brown sugar

• ¼ cup heavy cream

• 1 cup chopped pecans

Directions

1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch cake pan with non-stick spray.

2. Prepare the Cake: In a large mixing bowl, combine the butter pecan cake mix with the ingredients specified on the box. Bake the cake according to the package instructions.

3. Poke the Cake: Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool slightly. While still warm, use a fork or the handle of a wooden spoon to poke holes all over the top of the cake.n

4. Add Sweetened Condensed Milk: Pour the sweetened condensed milk evenly over the cake, allowing it to seep into the holes. Let the cake cool completely.

5. Make the Praline Sauce: In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the brown sugar and heavy cream, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Let the mixture simmer for 3–5 minutes, then stir in the chopped pecans. Remove from heat.

6. Pour Praline Sauce: Pour half of the praline sauce over the cooled cake, ensuring it fills the holes.

7. Prepare Whipped Cream: In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together until stiff peaks form.

8. Top the Cake: Spread the whipped cream evenly over the cake. Drizzle the remaining praline sauce on top and sprinkle with toasted pecans.

9. Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the cake for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld. Enjoy each delicious bite of this indulgent cake!
