This recipe was a big hit with my husband since he's a huge pecan pie fan. I thought it was good, but very sweet and rich. I though it would have been better if it was a little thicker, but he said not to change a thing. It looks like I will definitely be making this again. Thanks for sharing the recipe. =)

I made this for a dinner party and it was wonderful. I couldn't rate it a 5 star kid's love it, kids would prefer something less nutty I think, but it's great. Don't panic when you pour the second layer on top, it sinks into the first and disappears. I had to use a 9x12 pan so I cooked it a little longer than this called for. It came out fine. Try it, it's a keeper!

This is very much like pecan pie without the crust. It is gooey and rich, but that's what I love about pecan pie! I made it with whole pecans, because that's how I make my pecan pie. Served it warm and it was just wonderful!

This was a hit at a book study of ladies. Severely decadent. It's a keeper in my book. Next time though I think I'll make it in a 9x13 pan instead of the 10x15, to make it just a little thicker.

I made this for the Christmas dinner at our church and everyone loved it. It is so moist and gooey just like a pecan pie but much better than any pecan pie I've ever had. Definitely our new favorite dessert!

This cake is awesome! I don't even like pecan pie that much, but I LOVE this cake. My mom, who loves pecan pie, said she likes it even better than pecan pie. I added 1 cup of chocolate chips to the filling like someone suggested previously, and that was really good! I cooked it about 10 minutes longer on the final bake time, and I think next time I will cook it even longer. It is very rich and delicious. My family has requested that I make it at least once a month!

This is a wonderful recipe. As others stated it is gooey and somewhat difficult to serve. I also had a difficult time finding the cake mix. I used Betty Crocker Butter Pecan Cake Mix.

I have not made this particular cake but I made one similar several years ago. I cannot find the butter pecan cake mix made by Duncan Hines I think or any other brand. What is the name of the brand you use and where do you find it?

This was excellent! I think it may actually be better than pecan pie. I made it for a special occasion and it was a huge success! I was going to serve it with vanilla ice cream, but the suggestion was made that whipped cream would be a great topping. I didn't have any on hand -- but next time I will! Thanks so much for sharing.
