Butter Pecan Praline Poke Cake
Ingredients:
1 (15 oz) box butter pecan cake mix
1 (16 oz) can coconut pecan frosting
4 large eggs
3/4 cup vegetable or canola oil
1 cup milk
1/2 cup chopped pecans
For the Sauce:
1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
1/4 cup butter
1/2 cup chopped pecans
Instructions:
Preheat and Prepare Pan
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x11-inch baking dish.
Prepare the Cake Batter
In a large mixing bowl, combine the butter pecan cake mix, coconut pecan frosting, eggs, oil, and milk. Beat with an electric mixer until the batter is smooth and well blended.
Add Pecans and Bake
Stir in 1/2 cup of chopped pecans, then pour the batter into the prepared baking dish. Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Prepare the Praline Sauce
While the cake is baking, in a small saucepan, combine the sweetened condensed milk and 1/4 cup butter. Heat over medium, stirring until the butter melts and the mixture is smooth. Stir in 1/2 cup chopped pecans.
Poke and Pour
Once the cake is done baking, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool slightly. Use the handle of a wooden spoon to poke holes all over the cake. Pour the warm praline sauce over the cake, letting it soak into the holes.
Serve
Let the cake cool completely before serving for the best flavor and texture.
