Ingredients
For Cake Mix
- 15.25 ounce butter pecan cake mix (1 box), I used Betty Crocker
- 3 large eggs
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup water
For Poke Cake
- 15 ounce dulce de Leche (1 jar)
- 32 fluid ounce Cool Whip or whipped cream
- ½ cup pecans chopped
- ½ cup Toffee bits
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350℉ and grease a 9"-x-13" pan with cooking spray.
- Prepare the butter pecan cake mix according to package instructions. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake until the cake is golden and a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Should take about 30 minutes.
- Using the handle of a wooden spoon, poke holes into the cake across the entire surface. Microwave the jar of dulce de leche for about 30 seconds, then stir it around, make sure it's pour-able. Pour the dulce de leche over the top to fill the holes.
- Spread the cool whip or whipped cream over the top of the cake and garnish with the pecans and toffee bits.
- Slice into squares and serve.

Notes
- If you can't find butter pecan cake mix, white cake mix will work. Substitute melted butter for vegetable oil.
- Dulce de leche is a thick caramel sauce made with sugar and milk. It can be substituted for caramel mixed with condensed milk.
- If you don't like cool whip then substitute with equal amounts of whipped cream.
