Ingredients
– 1 box yellow cake mix
– 3 large eggs
– 1 cup water
– 1/3 cup vegetable oil
– 1 cup caramel sauce (plus more for drizzling)
– 1 cup chopped pecans (toasted if desired)
– 1 tsp vanilla extract
– 1 can sweetened condensed milk
– Whipped cream (for topping)
Equipment Needed
– 9×13 inch baking pan
– Mixing bowls
– Electric mixer or whisk
– Toothpicks or chopsticks (for poking the cake)
– Spatula
– Measuring cups and spoons
Step-by-Step Instructions
First, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large mixing bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, eggs, water, and vegetable oil. I like to mix it all together using an electric mixer, but a whisk will work just fine too! Beat it on medium speed for about 2-3 minutes until it’s nice and smooth. Pour the batter into a greased 9×13 inch baking pan and bake for about 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Once your cake is baked, let it cool for about 10 minutes.
