1-Let’s dive into baking this Butter Pecan Praline Poke Cake it’s as simple as mixing a few things and letting the oven do the work. Start by pulling together your ingredients for a smooth process, and you’ll have a tasty treat ready in no time. This method ensures a rich, moist result that’s perfect for sharing at any gathering.

2-First, mix the butter pecan cake mix, coconut pecan frosting, 4 large eggs, 3/4 cup vegetable or canola oil, 1 cup milk, and 1/2 cup chopped pecans in a bowl until the batter is smooth and lump-free. Pour this into a greased 9×13 inch pan and bake it at 350°F for 30 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Once it’s done, poke holes all over the cake to let the sauce soak in, creating that signature moist texture.

3-While the cake bakes, make the praline sauce by gently warming 1/4 cup butter in a pan, then stir in 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk and 1/2 cup chopped pecans until it’s warm and well combined. Pour this sauce over the poked cake so it seeps into the holes, then let it cool before slicing. For similar easy desserts, try our magic three-layer custard cake recipe for another crowd-pleaser.
