Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 box yellow cake mix or butter cake mix
  • 1 cup chopped pecans

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 cup corn syrup (light or dark)
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish thoroughly with butter or non-stick spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Layer Cake Mix: Pour the entire box of cake mix evenly into the prepared baking dish. Do not stir or mix the cake mix; just spread it out evenly for the filling to seep through.
  3. Mix Filling: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, corn syrup, eggs, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until smooth and combined.
  4. Pour Filling: Evenly pour the filling mixture over the dry cake mix in the baking dish, allowing it to saturate the cake mix beneath.
  5. Add Pecans: Sprinkle the chopped pecans evenly over the top of the wet cake mixture to add a crunchy, nutty texture.
  6. Drizzle Butter: Drizzle the melted unsalted butter evenly over the entire surface of the pecans and cake mixture, helping to create a golden crust as it bakes.
  7. Bake: Place the baking dish into the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Cool and Serve: Allow the cake to cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm, ideally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for extra indulgence.

Notes

  • You can use either light or dark corn syrup; dark corn syrup provides a richer and deeper flavor.
  • Add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the filling for a warm, spiced twist.
  • Let the cake cool slightly before slicing to help it set and hold its shape.
  • This cake is best served warm but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for a few days.
