Ingredients & Equipment You’ll Need

• 1 box butter pecan cake mix
• 1 can (14 oz) dulce de leche
• 1 tub (8 oz) whipped cream
• �� cup butter
• 3 eggs
• 1 cup pecan halves

How To Make Butter Pecan Dulce De Leche Poke Cake

1. Preheat your oven to 350��F. Grease the baking dish with butter so that the cake does not stick.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, eggs, and melted butter. Using your mixer, blend until the batter is smooth.
3. Pour the batter into the baking dish. Bake for 30-40 mins or until golden on top and firm to touch.
4. Once the cake is done, let it cool. Using a skewer, poke holes all over the cake. Pour the dulce de leche over the cake, ensuring it fills all the holes.
5. Spread a generous amount of whipped cream on top. Sprinkle the pecan halves all over the creamy topping. Chill in the fridge for at least an hour before serving.

Tips For The Best Results

• Use room temperature ingredients for best results.
• Poke enough holes to allow the dulce de leche to seep in fully.
• Chill the cake long enough to allow the flavors to infuse and the topping to set.

Storage Tips

• Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
• Freeze slices individually for longer storage, though I doubt they���ll last that long!
