Ingredients
  

  • 1 box Butter Pecan Cake Mix
  • 1 can Sweetened Condensed Milk
  • 115 g Unsalted Butter Essential for richness
  • 200 g Brown Sugar
  • 120 ml Heavy Cream
  • 240 ml Heavy Whipping Cream For fluffiest topping
  • 30 g Powdered Sugar For sweetness and stability
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract Enhances flavor
  • 60 g Toasted Pecans Add crunch

Equipment

  • 9x13 inch cake pan
  • Saucepan

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and coat a 9×13-inch cake pan with non-stick spray.
  2. Prepare the butter pecan cake mix according to instructions, pour into the pan and bake for about 30 minutes.
  3. Let the cake cool slightly, then poke holes all over the top.
  4. Pour sweetened condensed milk over the cake and allow to cool completely.
  5. Melt unsalted butter in a saucepan, stir in brown sugar and heavy cream, simmer for 3–5 minutes to thicken.
  6. Pour half the praline sauce over the cooled cake, allowing it to seep into the holes.
  7. Whip heavy whipping cream with powdered sugar and vanilla until stiff peaks form.
  8. Spread whipped cream over the cake, drizzle remaining praline sauce, and top with toasted pecans.
  9. Refrigerate the assembled cake for at least two hours before serving.

Notes

For a more intense flavor, consider adding a splash of bourbon to the praline sauce or serving with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
