Step-by-Step Instructions
To start making this delightful Butter Pecan Praline Poke Cake, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large mixing bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, eggs, water, and melted butter. I like to use a whisk to ensure everything combines smoothly. Once combined, fold in the chopped pecans to add that wonderful crunch we all love. After mixing, pour the batter into a greased 9×13 inch baking pan and spread it evenly. Bake for about 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. The kitchen will start to smell divine as it bakes! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
