In a large bowl, combine puddings, cake mix, water, vanilla, oil, and eggs. Mix until combined – about 2 minutes. In a separate bowl, combine brown sugar and pecans.
Spread half of the cake batter into a greased 13×9 pan. Cover with half of the pecan mixture. Spread the remaining batter over the pecan mixture. Top with remaining pecan mixture.
Bake at 350 degrees for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Notes
Add Different Nuts: Walnuts work well for this recipe.
Sea Salt: On top of the cake, a little sea salt will cut the sweetness.
Sugar Free: Above all, this recipe is sweet. Therefore, using the sugar free version is a really great switch for this recipe. You won't even taste the difference.
Serve: Can serve with a little butterscotch syrup or some vanilla ice cream.
