Expert Tips

To get the most flavor from the pecans, toast them before sprinkling on top of the cake. Spread on cookie sheet; bake at 350°F 5 to 7 minutes or until golden brown, stirring occasionally. Cool.

Adding cocoa is a great way to give extra chocolate punch to a devil’s food cake mix.

I love this cake! We have it at all our family gatherings. It is always moist and delicious. We cover only half with nuts so those that don't like them can enjoy the cake too.

I made this cake for my family and shared it with our neighbors. Everyone loved it and asked for seconds!! The bread was so moist and delicious!! I mixed the pecans with a little melted butter and toasted them for about 10mins in the oven before I topped the cake. It was super easy to make! Will definitely use this recipe again!!
