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!
