Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 2 eggs lightly beaten
  • ½ cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 cup caramel topping
  • ½ cup salted caramel topping
  • ¼ cup melted butter
  • 3 cups pecan halves
  • 1 box butter pecan cake mix
  • 1 cup melted butter

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with non-stick spray.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the eggs, brown sugar, caramel toppings, and melted butter. Whisk until fully blended and smooth.
  • Fold in the pecan halves, ensuring they are evenly coated.
  • Pour this mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread out evenly.
  • In a separate bowl, combine the butter pecan cake mix and melted butter. Stir until the mixture resembles thick crumbs.
  • Evenly sprinkle this crumb mixture over the pecan filling layer.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, or until the top is golden and the edges are bubbling.
  • Allow the cake to cool for 15–20 minutes before serving.
  • Serve warm for best gooey texture, especially with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or extra drizzle of caramel sauce.
