Preparation Steps

• Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
• In a large bowl, combine cake mix, pudding mix, eggs, oil, and water. Beat with an electric mixer until well combined.
• Pour batter into prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
• While the cake is baking, prepare the icing. In a saucepan, melt butter. Add sugar and milk, and bring to a boil. Boil for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
• Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract and pecans.
• As soon as the cake comes out of the oven, pour the icing evenly over the top. Let cool completely before serving.
