Ingredients
โข 1 box butter pecan cake mix: This type of base is the basis of this recipe offering a significant buttery taste.
ย โข 1 cup water: Moisturizes the cake mix to increase yellowness or lightness as well as to allow the cake to have that spongy feel
ย โข 1/3 cup vegetable oil: Measures play a role in attaining a moist texture in the cake and also the role of a binder.
โข 3 large eggs: Categorized as important for structure and for the richness of a cake.
ย Add-Ins
โข 1/2 cup chopped pecans: They also give a crunchy feel to the cake and take the nutty taste of the cake to another level
โข 1/4 cup melted butter: Enhances the butter flavor of the cake which in turn will blend well with the nuts.
Instructions
ย Prepare the Mix
1. Preheat your oven: To start with, you need to set your oven to 350ยฐF (175ยฐC). The greasing and the flouring of the pan (9 x 13 inches) help in reducing on sticking of the cake onto the pan as we remove it.
ย 2. Mix the Ingredients: In a very large bowl, pour in the contents of the cake mix box then followed by the water, the vegetable oil, and the eggs. This will take about five minutes then pick up using an electric mixer or a whisk to make a smooth batter without any lumps.
3. Incorporate Pecans: Now incorporate the Pecans and Butter in the pan once the Figs and Blueberries have become tender. Mix very lightly the chopped pecans and melted butter. The addition of pecans is very silky and the butter enhances the taste of the cake.
4. ย Bake the Cake: ย Pour and Bake Transfer this batter to the prepared pan and evenly spread it. Place in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes or until when a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. This shows that the cake is done or fully baked.
ย 5. Cool the Cake: Let the cake cool in the pan on a wire rack for some time until it cools down completely. This step is most especially necessary if you plan to frost the cake because frosting a warm cake results in a melted frosting.

ย Tips and Tricks
Enhance the Flavor
ย โข Add Vanilla: Another suggestion for enhancing the cake is putting one teaspoon of vanilla extract in the batter; this gives a different layer of lovely taste to the cake, thus making the cake even tastier.
ย โข Use Brown Sugar: Assuming to get a little caramel taste half part of the water can be replaced by brown sugar syrup.
ย Perfect Texture
โข Toasted Pecans: To make it even yummier, you can even roast the pecans in a skillet for about 2-3 minutes. It is recommended that they cool before incorporating into the batter.
โข Buttermilk Substitute: Instead of water use buttermilk as it brings a sour taste and makes the bread even moister.
Frosting Ideas
ย Cream Cheese Frosting: Combine the cream cheese with butter and then incorporate in it the powdered sugar and a hint of vanilla for a little tang to complement the starchy butter cake.
ย ย Caramel Drizzle: After the cake has cooled down, to make it give it a rich look, pour some more caramel sauce over the cake. This gives it a nice sweet taste which goes well with the nutty/fatty pecans.Best Reeseโs Peanut Butter Cupcakes Recipe Ever ย
