Ingredients
  

For the cake:
  • 1 box butter pecan cake mix Store-bought cake mix
  • 1 can 16 oz coconut pecan frosting For added flavor and texture
  • 4 large eggs Room temperature
  • ¾ cup vegetable or canola oil For moisture
  • 1 cup milk Whole milk for best results
  • ½ cup chopped pecans Chopped for texture
For the sauce:
  • 1 can 14 oz sweetened condensed milk For a creamy base
  • ¼ cup butter For richness
  • ½ cup chopped pecans Adds crunch and flavor to the sauce

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, coconut frosting, eggs, oil, and milk. Beat the mixture with an electric mixer until smooth.
  3. Stir in chopped pecans, then pour the batter into the prepared pan.
  4. Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  5. Remove the cake from the oven, and use the handle of a wooden spoon to poke holes all over the surface. Let the cake cool slightly while preparing the sauce.
  6. In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the condensed milk and stir well. Bring to a simmer, then stir in the chopped pecans. Remove from heat.
  7. Slowly pour the sauce over the cake, letting it soak into the holes and run down the sides.
  8. Allow the cake to cool completely before slicing and serving.
