  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, frosting, eggs, vegetable oil, and milk. Mix until smooth and fluffy.
  3. Fold in the chopped pecans and pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
  4. Bake for 30-40 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
