Variations:
Nut Choices: Feel free to swap pecans with walnuts or almonds for a different nutty flavor.
Add Chocolate Chips: For a chocolatey twist, add 1/2 cup of chocolate chips to the top before baking.
Spice It Up: Add a teaspoon of cinnamon or nutmeg to the cake mix for extra warmth and depth of flavor.
FAQ:
Can I use a different cake mix?
Yes, you can use any flavor of cake mix, though yellow cake mix gives the best traditional flavor for pecan pie.
Do I need to stir the cake mix?
No, don’t stir the cake mix. The magic happens as the cake mix bakes into a golden crust over the pecans and gooey filling.
Can I make this ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the cake up to the point of baking and refrigerate it overnight. Just bake it when you’re ready to serve.
