Method
 

Steps
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and generously grease a 9×13-inch pan.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the Butter Pecan Cake Mix with the liquid ingredients as instructed on the package and mix for about 2 minutes.
  3. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and bake for about 30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  4. After 10 minutes of cooling, poke holes all over the surface with a fork.
  5. Pour the sweetened condensed milk evenly over the holes.
  6. In a saucepan, melt the unsalted butter, then whisk in brown sugar and heavy cream until bubbly and slightly thickened.
  7. Drizzle half of the praline sauce over the cooled cake.
  8. In another bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
  9. Spread the whipped topping over the cake evenly.
  10. Drizzle the remaining praline sauce over the topping and sprinkle with toasted pecans.
  11. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
