BUTTER PECAN BUNDT CAKE

What makes your mouth water more than butter pecan? Not much right? The flavors combined create a sweet and rich duo that you seriously can’t get enough of, well at least that’s me! So I figured why not create it into a delicious Butter Pecan Bundt Cake!

Now this just isn’t your typical type of bundt cake. It’s also a poke cake too! Yes, you read that right a POKE CAKE!! Say what?!?! Yup, while still hot in the pan this puppy is poked and poured with a sweetened condensed milk and butter extract mixture that gives it a moist and dense texture that literally melts in your mouth.

Butter Pecan Bundt Cake

This cake is super easy to make, it may be a bit over the top on the butter and sugar department but seriously…it’s cake so either way it’s not going to be the healthiest of things anyways. So why not go big or go home right?

Another delicious added feature to this Butter Pecan Bundt Cake is the addition of French vanilla pudding to the batter. You guys…it makes this thing so so so tasty! I absolutely love it. Plus massive, well not massive just maybe normal amounts of butter extract. Yes there is such a thing as butter extract and it is glorious.

My cake turned out great, but I did only use one cup of condensed milk, because of the previous comments. After I had tasted the cake it is a little to sweet, so next time I will cut back on the sugar also. Great Recipe**

Do you
cover the cake with foil while baking it.

Can I make this bundt cake as cupcakes?

I’ve made this cake several times. It is amazing. The first time it baked perfectly. The next few times it ran over into the bottom of the oven. I even tried a bigger pan but got the same result. I did nothing different with the ingredients. Any ideas why this is happening?

My daughter just made it for our Thanksgiving dessert and it looks perfect! She did not do the poke and pour step. Is nutrition information for the whole cake or one serving?

Just finished making this cake for my granddaughter’s cheerleading fundraiser online auction and it came out perfect! I followed the recipe to a T!

5 stars
It’s a winner!! My 16 yr. old grandson adored it. I liked it too and. Will make again. Mind you We are eating it while it is still warm and without icing, and it is the ‘bomb.’

I had the same experience!

I have made two of these and both fell. The cake is delicious but disappointed that it fell.

Something is off with this recipe. Should it be 3 cups of flour? I made it and the cake fell. It was very sticky, indicating excessive sugar. Please check the recipe.

How much butter do I use if I do not use butter extract?

What is butter extract?

Can you eliminate the sweetened condense milk. I’m not that keen on a wet cake inside. Want to know if it would be as good without the milk?

I found the recipe easy to follow. I cant wait to cut into it. What a way to break in my new Kitchen Aid mixer. Thanks for a great recipe. I wish I could show you a pic. It came out great..❤

I just made it. Delicious! I have one question though…..my cake did not turn out yellow like the picture. It was a medium brown color. Is this correct? I think this is due to the brown sugar.

This is a great cake and I have bake it several times. But I often wonder what is the purpose of covering the pan with tin foil while baking the cake? Is tin foil required?

My aunt made this cake, its good, but we both agreed its too sweet for our taste buds. What would you recommend reducing the sugar to?

Can a silicon bunt cake pan be use? That’s all I have and would I need to grease and flour it? I have made a lemon sour cream Bundt cake and it didn’t stick
