Ingredients
  

For the Cake
  • 1 cup melted butter Provides moisture and richness; substitute 1/2 cup softened butter for a less liquid topping.
  • 1 box butter pecan cake mix Forms the base of the crumbly topping; vanilla cake mix works well if butter pecan isn't available.
  • 2 cups chopped pecans Adds delightful crunch and nutty flavor; try walnuts for a different twist.
  • 1 cup caramel topping Creates a luscious, sweet layer; consider store-bought caramel sauce for extra convenience.

Equipment

  • 9x13 inch baking dish

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Gather your ingredients and have a baking dish ready.
  2. Layer the chopped pecans evenly across the bottom of the baking dish.
  3. Drizzle the caramel topping generously over the layer of pecans.
  4. Sprinkle the butter pecan cake mix evenly over the caramel layer without stirring it in.
  5. Gently pour the melted butter over the cake mix in a slow, steady stream.
  6. Bake for 40-45 minutes until the top is golden brown, and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  7. Allow to cool briefly at room temperature before serving.
