Instructions:
Step 1 – Preparing the Cake:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and generously grease a 9×11-inch baking dish, ensuring your cake won’t stick.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the butter pecan cake mix, coconut pecan frosting, eggs, vegetable or canola oil, and milk. Blend the batter thoroughly using an electric mixer until it’s well incorporated.
Stir in the 1/2 cup of chopped pecans to add a delightful crunch and nutty flavor to your cake mix.
Pour this luscious batter into the prepared baking dish, ensuring it’s evenly distributed.
Bake your cake in the preheated oven for approximately 30-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The aroma of buttery pecans will fill your kitchen as it bakes.
Step 2 – Creating the Praline Sauce:
While your cake is baking, let’s prepare the irresistible praline sauce. In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the 1/4 cup of butter until it’s smooth and golden.
Add the sweetened condensed milk to the melted butter, and stir continuously to create a velvety, creamy sauce. Allow it to gently simmer, enhancing the flavors.
Now, fold in the remaining 1/2 cup of chopped pecans, infusing your sauce with delightful nuttiness and texture.
Remove the praline sauce from heat, and set it aside until the cake is ready.
