I made this cake for my granddaughter’s baby shower and it was a HIT! I brought the very few leftovers to work and they wiped it out, asking for the recipe. Plus it made the house smell like heaven while baking.
Mine was horrible, burned on bottom and top not that tasty! Won’t ever make this again
I made this cake last wkend thinking my boys wouldn’t touch it. They normally snarl their noses at pecans. The smell was more than they could handle and could barely wait for it to finish. It was amazing to say the least! It was even better the second day when my 14 yr old sat down w/the pan and a fork to dive in. I didn’t have a yellow cake mix and used butter pecan. I will try yellow nxt time. Thanks so much!
I made this cake last night – it does smell incredible. Definitely a keeper!!
Can you use a chocolate cake mix instead?
Can you use butter pecan cake mix with pudding in it?
