Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box of butter pecan cake mix (plus ingredients listed on the box to prepare the mix)
- 1 can (14 oz) of sweetened condensed milk
- 1 jar (12 oz) of caramel ice cream topping
- 1 cup chopped pecans
- ½ cup butter
- 1 cup brown sugar
- ½ cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare the Cake Begin by preheating your oven according to the instructions on the cake mix box. Prepare the butter pecan cake mix in a 9×13 inch baking dish as directed on the package.
- Poke Holes Once the cake is fully baked and still warm, use the handle of a wooden spoon to poke holes throughout the cake.
- Add Sweetened Condensed Milk Pour the sweetened condensed milk evenly over the warm cake, letting it soak into the holes.
- Drizzle Caramel Next, evenly drizzle the caramel ice cream topping over the cake, ensuring it seeps into the previously made holes.
- Make the Praline Topping In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the brown sugar and heavy cream. Bring the mixture to a boil and allow it to cook for 2-3 minutes until it thickens slightly.
- Finish the Topping Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and chopped pecans.
- Pour Topping Evenly pour the praline mixture over the cake, using a spatula to spread it.
- Cool and Serve Allow the cake to cool completely at room temperature before serving to ensure the toppings set properly.
