Indulge in the rich, buttery goodness of this Butter Pecan Praline Poke Cake! This moist and flavorful cake is infused with caramel and topped with a delightful praline pecan topping, making it a true showstopper for any dessert table.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box butter pecan cake mix (plus ingredients listed on the box)
  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 jar (12 oz) caramel ice cream topping
  • 1 cup chopped pecans
  • ½ cup butter
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Prepare the Cake: Preheat your oven and prepare the butter pecan cake mix according to the package instructions in a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  • Poke Holes: Once the cake is baked and while it’s still warm, use the handle of a wooden spoon to poke holes all over the top of the cake.
  • Add Sweetened Condensed Milk: Pour the sweetened condensed milk evenly over the cake, allowing it to soak into the holes.
  • Drizzle Caramel: Drizzle the caramel ice cream topping over the cake, letting it seep into the holes as well.
  • Make the Praline Topping: In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the brown sugar and heavy cream. Bring to a boil and cook for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
  • Finish the Topping: Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and chopped pecans.
  • Pour Topping: Pour the praline mixture over the cake, spreading it evenly.
  • Cool and Serve: Allow the cake to cool completely before serving.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of salt to the praline mixture.
  • Serve with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful dessert.
