Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat your oven according to the package instructions for the butter pecan cake mix, typically around 350°F (175°C).

  5. Poke holes in the cake using a fork, about an inch apart.
  6. In a saucepan, combine sweetened condensed milk, brown sugar, and heavy cream. Heat over medium until it begins to boil, then remove from heat.

  8. In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream with vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
