Butter Pecan Praline Poke Cake

Step 3: Make the Praline Filling

1. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine butter, brown sugar, and sweetened condensed milk.
2. Stir constantly until the butter melts and the mixture comes to a gentle simmer.
3. Add in the chopped pecans, vanilla, and a pinch of salt. Simmer for 1–2 minutes more until everything is blended and gooey.
4. Remove from heat and carefully pour the warm praline mixture over the cake, ensuring it fills the holes evenly.

Step 4: Let It Set

1. Let the cake cool completely to room temperature.
2. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or ideally overnight, to allow the flavors to set and deepen.

Step 5: Add the Topping

1. Once chilled, spread the whipped topping evenly over the cake.
2. Sprinkle the top with toasted chopped pecans for a nutty crunch.
3. Optionally, drizzle with caramel sauce or sprinkle with toffee bits for extra sweetness and texture.
