Operation Eat Me Cake

Operation Eat Me Cake
From: VunderBob

1 garden variety yellow cake mix, with all of the regular extra ingredients called for on the box (oil, eggs, etc)

1 cup of well broken (but not crushed) pecans

2 tsp vanilla

Butter cream frosting, commercial or homemade

Mix the cake, per directions, adding the vanilla and 3/4 of the pecans. Bake as usual. When cool, frost, spreading balance of pecans over the top.

Yeah, a tough one I know, but the added nuts and vanilla are enough of an improvement that people want to know how to make it.

If you don't like pecans, walnuts also work. I despise walnuts personally, and I grow my own pecans, so there's a little bit of a bias.
