Directions:
FOR THE CAKE:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Spray a 9 x13 baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
3. In a medium bowl (or your stand mixer bowl), combine all the cake ingredients except for the chopped pecans.
4. Don't forget to add the tub of coconut pecan frosting, that goes into the cake batter too! Mix well, then stir in ½ cup chopped pecans.
6. Pour batter into greased baking dish.
7. Bake for about 40 minutes.
8. Oven times vary but cake should spring back to the touch and be golden brown. Insert a toothpick into the middle; it should come out clean.

10. In a small pot over medium heat, melt 2 tbsp butter.
11. Pour in can of sweetened condensed milk with the melted butter and stir.
12. Continue to stir until heated thoroughly, then add ½ cup chopped pecans.
13. Stir again then take off heat.

Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
• For the sauce, you can let the butter brown just a tiny bit before adding the condensed milk – gives it a great flavor!
• I toast the pecans for the sauce (because I love toasted nuts). Just spread them on a cookie sheet in the oven and bake at 350 degrees F for about 5-10 min. (You can do this while the oven is preheating for the cake)
• You can also make this cake in a bundt pan. Adjust cooking time to about 50 minutes
