Step-by-Step Instructions
Making this Butter Pecan Praline Poke Cake is as delightful as it is straightforward! Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, water, vegetable oil, and eggs. Blend them using your mixer on medium speed until the batter is smooth and well combined. Once it’s ready, fold in the chopped pecans. Pour this luscious batter into your greased 9×13 inch baking dish, and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. The sweet, buttery aroma will fill your kitchen, making it almost impossible to wait for it to cool! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
