Ingredients
1 (15 ounces) box butter pecan cake mix
1 (16 ounces) 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 ounces) can sweetened condensed milk
1/4 cup butter
1/2 cup chopped pecans
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
In a large bowl, mix together the cake mix, coconut pecan frosting, eggs, oil, and milk until smooth.
Fold in 1/2 cup chopped pecans, then pour the batter into the prepared baking dish.
Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
After baking, poke holes across the top of the cake using the handle of a wooden spoon.
For the sauce, melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat, then stir in the sweetened condensed milk and 1/2 cup chopped pecans until well combined.
Pour the sauce over the poked cake, ensuring it fills the holes.
Allow the cake to cool completely before serving.
