Ingredients
- 1 box yellow cake mix
- 1 cup water
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup chopped pecans, toasted
- 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup whipped topping for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the Cake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, water, vegetable oil, and eggs. Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes until well combined. Stir in the toasted pecans.
- Bake: Pour the batter into a greased 9×13 inch baking pan. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Poke and Soak: Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes. Use a fork to poke holes all over the surface of the cake. In a saucepan, combine the sweetened condensed milk, brown sugar, butter, and vanilla. Cook over medium heat until the butter is melted and the mixture is smooth. Pour this mixture over the cake, making sure it seeps into the holes.
- Chill and Serve: Allow the cake to cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving. Top with whipped topping and additional toasted pecans if desired.
