Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large mixing bowl, combine the butter pecan cake mix, eggs, water, and melted butter. Blend on medium speed for about 2 minutes until smooth. Pour into a greased baking dish and bake for 25-30 minutes.
  2. Remove from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes. Poke holes in the top of the warm cake with a fork.
  3. Prepare praline sauce: In a medium saucepan, combine sugar, butter, and cream over medium heat. Stir continuously for 1-2 minutes until it thickens slightly. Remove from heat and let cool.
  4. Pour the warm praline sauce evenly over the poked holes in the cake. Spread with a spatula if needed.
  5. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
  6. For whipped cream, beat heavy cream and powdered sugar until soft peaks form, about 3-5 minutes.
  7. Spread whipped cream over the cooled cake and top with chopped pecans.
