Method
 

Cake Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine the Butter Pecan Cake Mix, eggs, and water. Mix until smooth, then pour the batter into a greased 9x13-inch baking pan. Bake for 25–30 minutes.
  2. Once baked, let the cake cool in the pan for about 15 minutes. Then, use a fork to poke holes all over the cake.
  3. In a saucepan, combine the ingredients for the praline sauce over medium heat until smooth and bubbly, around 5–7 minutes. Pour the praline sauce over the cake, allowing it to soak.
  4. Cover the pan and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
  5. Beat the heavy whipping cream on medium-high speed, gradually adding sugar and vanilla until soft peaks form.
  6. Spread or pipe the whipped cream over the chilled cake, and optionally sprinkle with chopped pecans.
  7. Slice the cake into squares and serve cold.

Notes

Ensure the cake cools completely before poking holes to prevent crumbling. Avoid overwhipping the cream for a smooth topping.
