Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch cake pan.
  2. Combine the Butter Pecan Cake Mix with required ingredients in a bowl. Pour into the prepared pan and bake for 30 minutes.
  3. Let the cake cool for about 10 minutes. Poke holes in the surface using a wooden spoon or skewer.
  4. Pour the sweetened condensed milk over the warm cake. Allow it to cool completely at room temperature for 30 minutes.
  5. In a saucepan, melt the unsalted butter. Add brown sugar and heavy cream, stir, boil, and simmer for 3-4 minutes until thickened.
  6. Remove the sauce from heat, cool slightly, and drizzle half over the cake focusing on holes. Set the rest aside.
  7. Whip together heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
  8. Spread the whipped cream over the cake and drizzle with remaining praline sauce. Top with toasted pecans.
  9. Refrigerate for at least two hours before serving to meld flavors.
