Pecan Pie Cake

This Pecan Pie Cake tastes just like pecan pie but in cake form. I think it tastes even better than pecan pie. It’s made from a box of butter pecan cake mix with lots of butter, brown sugar, and eggs added.

If you can’t find a box of butter pecan cake mix, use yellow cake mix instead.

The cake mix actually gets made into two different batters. The first batter gets poured into a 9×13-inch pan and baked for 25 minutes. Then the second batter is poured on top and the whole thing is baked another 30 to 35 minutes.

The bottom layer won’t be completely set so the top layer will disappear into it. But the finished Pecan Pie Cake will come out so gooey and moist.

Servings: 12 servings

Ingredients
1 (15.25-ounce) box Butter Pecan cake mix
1/2 cup butter (1 stick), softened
1 cup packed light brown sugar
2 eggs
2 tablespoons water
2 cups chopped pecans
1/2 cup butter (1 stick), softened
2 eggs
1 cup sugar
1 cup light corn syrup
1 cup milk

Instructions
Preheat oven to 325 degrees and grease a 9x13-inch baking pan.
Measure out 2/3 cup of cake mix and set aside.
Place remaining cake mix in a mixing bowl with 1/2 cup softened butter, light brown sugar, 2 eggs, and water. Use an electric mixer to mix well.
Fold in pecans and pour batter into prepared pan.
Place in oven and bake for 25 minutes.
About 5 minutes before end of baking time, mix together 1/2 cup softened butter, 2 eggs, sugar, corn syrup, and milk along with the 2/3 cup of cake mix that was set aside.
Remove pan from oven, pour second batter on top.
Return pan to oven and bake another 30 to 35 minutes. Cake will still be jiggly in center. Serve warm with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.

Recipe Notes
I used a metal baking pan. If you use a glass baking pan, you may need to bake the cake a few minutes longer.
