For the Cake Mixture
  • 1 can Sweetened Condensed Milk For a lighter cake, substitute with evaporated milk.
  • 1 cup Brown Sugar Using dark brown sugar gives a richer taste.

  • 2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract Using pure vanilla can elevate the taste experience.
  • 1 cup Pecan Halves Chopped pecans can be used for a pronounced nutty presence.

  • 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter Ensure it's melted for easier application.

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and generously grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together sweetened condensed milk, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth, about 2 minutes.
  3. Gently fold pecan halves into the mixture, ensuring they're evenly dispersed throughout.
  4. Carefully sprinkle the dry yellow cake mix evenly over the pecan layer in the baking dish.
  5. Drizzle melted unsalted butter evenly over the cake mix.
  6. Bake for 45–50 minutes until the top is golden brown and bubbly.
