Number Of Ingredients 5

6 tablespoons butter
1 1/4 cup pecan halves (see note)
1 (16-1/2-ounce) box butter golden cake mix (or other yellow cake mix), plus ingredients required to prepare the cake
1 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1 1/2 cup hot water

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. While the oven is heating, place the butter into a 9 x 13-inch baking dish and put it in the oven until it is melted.
  • Scatter the pecans evenly over the surface of the baking pan.
  • Prepare the cake mix as the package directs and spoon very carefully over the nuts, so that the nuts are not disturbed; do not stir.
  • Scatter the brown sugar in an even layer over the batter. Gently pour the hot water over the brown sugar layer until it is completely moistened.
  • Bake for 35 to 40 minutes until the top of the cake is firm and browned. Because of the soft bottom layer, it will not test done with the toothpick test but it will firm up as it cools on a cooling rack for at least 45 minutes before cutting to serve.
