Pecan Praline Poke Treat (Printable Version)

# What You'll Need:

01 - 1 box (15.25 oz) butter pecan cake mix.
02 - 1 can (15.5 oz) coconut pecan frosting.
03 - 4 eggs, large.
04 - 3/4 cup of oil (vegetable).
05 - 1 cup of regular milk.
06 - 1/2 cup pecans, toasted and chopped.
07 - 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk.
08 - 1/4 cup butter, unsalted.
09 - 1/2 cup pecans, toasted and chopped (for the topping sauce).
10 - 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.

# Preparation Steps:

01 - Set oven to 350°F. Grease up a 9x13 pan to get it ready.
02 - Stir together the cake mix, frosting, eggs, oil, and milk until there are no lumps. Gently fold in pecan pieces.
03 - Spread batter in the pan and bake for 35-40 minutes. Insert a toothpick to check; it should come out dry.
04 - Using a wooden spoon handle, make holes halfway deep in the hot cake.
05 - Warm up the butter and condensed milk until it simmers. Take it off heat, then mix in vanilla and pecans.
06 - Drizzle the warm sauce over the cake. Give the pan a gentle shake to help it seep into the holes, then add some pecans on top.
07 - Pop the cake into the fridge for at least an hour. That’ll let the flavors come together nicely.

# Additional Tips:

01 - Toast the pecans in the oven at 350°F for 5 to 10 minutes to bring out their flavor.
02 - Keep holes spaced evenly so the sauce gets into every bite.
03 - Letting the cake chill ensures the flavors meld perfectly.
