Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven
   Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease and flour one 8” round cake pan.
   
2. Make the Crust
   In a small bowl, mix Loretta Baking Mix, melted butter, and chopped pecans until crumbly. Press evenly into the bottom of the cake pan.
   
3. Prepare the Cake Layer
   In a large bowl, combine Loretta Devil’s Food Cake Mix with eggs, water, and oil. Blend on low for 1 minute, then beat on high for 3 minutes until smooth. Pour over the crust.
   
4. Bake
   Bake for 30–35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool completely in the pan.
   
5. Make the Brown Sugar Pecan Glaze
   In a saucepan, heat brown sugar, butter, and milk over medium heat until melted and smooth. Remove from heat and whisk in powdered sugar. Stir in chopped pecans.
