- Once the cake has cooled and absorbed the sauce, spread the whipped topping evenly over the cake to cover the entire surface.
- For added texture and flavor, sprinkle additional chopped pecans on top of the whipped topping.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
- Refrigerate the cake for at least an hour before serving to let the flavors set and for the cake to chill. Serve cold for the best texture and taste.
- Cut into squares, and enjoy the melt-in-your-mouth deliciousness of this butter-pecan poke cake!
Tips
- If you want a richer sauce, use heavy cream for the entire amount in the butter-pecan sauce, but half-and-half or milk can be used for a lighter version.
- You can make this cake ahead of time. It will keep well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- If you prefer a thicker topping, make your own whipped cream by whipping heavy cream with a bit of sugar and vanilla extract.
