Ingredients
1 box yellow cake mix
3 large eggs
1 cup water
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 cup chopped pecans, divided
1/2 cup melted butter
1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
1 jar (about 12 oz) caramel sauce
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking pan.
In a mixing bowl, combine cake mix, eggs, water, and oil. Mix until smooth. Fold in half of the chopped pecans.
Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool slightly, then poke holes all over the cake using the handle of a wooden spoon.
In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the sweetened condensed milk and caramel sauce. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 2–3 minutes.
Remove from heat and stir in the remaining pecans.
Pour the warm caramel praline mixture evenly over the cake, allowing it to seep into the holes.
Let the cake cool completely before slicing. Serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream if desired.
Notes
For deeper flavor, toast the pecans before using.
The cake can be made a day ahead and stored in the refrigerator for intensified flavor.
Great for potlucks, parties, and special occasions.
