Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to the temperature indicated on the butter pecan cake mix box, usually around 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the butter pecan cake mix with one cup of water, half a cup of vegetable oil, and three large eggs. Mix until smooth.
  3. Fold in one cup of chopped pecans gently into your cake batter.
  4. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and bake according to package instructions, about 25-30 minutes.
  5. Cool the cake for about 10-15 minutes, then poke holes all over the surface.
  6. Drizzle one cup of caramel sauce evenly over the cake, ensuring it seeps into the holes.
  7. In a separate bowl, whip one cup of heavy whipping cream with a quarter cup of powdered sugar and one teaspoon of vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
  8. Gently spread the whipped cream over the caramel-drizzled cake.
  9. Refrigerate the cake for at least 2 hours before serving.

Notes

Ensure the batter is smooth and avoid overmixing for the best texture. Poke holes deeply enough for caramel to seep in and allow adequate chilling time for enhanced flavor.
