What makes this cake extra special is the surprise twist: we mix the coconut pecan frosting directly into the batter before baking! It may sound unusual, but the result is pure magic. Whether you’re baking for a holiday, potluck, or just because—it’s bound to become a new favorite.
🧁 Ingredients
For the Cake:
1 box Yellow Cake Mix
1 container Coconut Pecan Frosting
⅔ cup Oil
1 cup Water
4 Large Eggs
½ cup Pecans, finely chopped
For the Topping:
2 tbsp Unsalted Butter
1 (14 oz) can Sweetened Condensed Milk
1 cup Pecans, chopped
👩🍳 How to Make Pecan Praline Cake
Step 1: Prepare the Cake Batter
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, oil, water, eggs, and coconut pecan frosting. Mix until the batter is smooth and well-blended.
Step 2: Add the Pecans
Fold in ½ cup of finely chopped pecans for extra crunch and flavor.
Step 3: Bake
Pour the batter into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for about 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Step 4: Make the Praline Topping
While the cake is still warm, melt butter and sweetened condensed milk in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir constantly until the butter has melted. Remove from heat and stir in 1 cup chopped pecans.
Step 5: Finish and Serve
Pour the warm topping over the freshly baked cake. Let it soak in slightly for that rich praline texture.
🍽️ Serving Suggestions
This cake is delicious on its own, but you can elevate it further with:

A dusting of powdered sugar
💡 Tips and Variations
Add a pinch of cinnamon to the batter for extra warmth.

Let the cake cool slightly before adding the topping if you prefer a firmer finish.
