Step 1
Mix cake batter per box instructions (water, oil, egg). Divide into lined muffin tin, filling each cup halfway.
Step 2
Bake at 350°F for 12–15 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool in tin for 5 minutes.
Step 3
While cakes cool, melt butter and brown sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring often.
Step 4
Remove from heat, stir in condensed milk until smooth. The frosting will thicken as it cools.
Step 5
Pop cakes from tin. Spoon warm caramel frosting over each, then sprinkle with coconut-pecan mix.
Step 6
Let frosting set for 5 minutes before serving. Store in an airtight container up to 3 days.
