This rich, moist cake starts with a yellow cake mix and a tub of coconut pecan frosting baked right in—then it’s topped with a warm, buttery pecan praline glaze that takes it over the top. Perfect for holidays, potlucks, or when you’re just craving something sweet and nutty!

Ingredients

Scale

  1. For the Cake:

    • 1 box yellow cake mix

    • 1 container coconut pecan frosting

    • ⅔ cup vegetable oil

    • 1 cup water

    • 4 large eggs

    • ½ cup pecans, finely chopped

  2. For the Topping:

    1. 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

    2. 1 (14 oz.) can sweetened condensed milk

    3. 1 cup pecans, choppe

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven: Set it to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish well.

  • Mix the cake batter: In a large bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, coconut pecan frosting, oil, water, and eggs. Beat until the mixture is smooth and well-blended.

  • Add pecans: Fold in the ½ cup of finely chopped pecans.

  • Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and smooth it out evenly. Bake for about 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

  • Make the praline topping: While the cake is baking (or just after it comes out), melt the butter and sweetened condensed milk in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly until the butter is fully melted.

  • Add pecans to the topping: Remove from heat and stir in the 1 cup of chopped pecans.

  • Finish the cake: Pour the warm praline topping over the freshly baked cake, spreading it out evenly.

 

  • Let cool slightly, then serve! It’s delicious warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • The cake is best served slightly warm, but it can also be enjoyed at room temperature.

  • For an extra indulgent touch, serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.

 

  • You can substitute the pecans with walnuts if preferred.
