Submitted by: Eleanor Johnson
Makes 2 - 8 or 9 inch pans
1/2 cup butter
1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
1 cup packed brown sugar
3/4 cup chopped pecans
1 (18.25 ounce) package devil's food cake
mix with pudding
1 1/4 cups water
1/3 cup vegetable oil
3 eggs
1 3/4 cups heavy whipping cream
1/4 cup confectioners' sugar
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract Recipe
Directions
1 Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
In a saucepan, combine the butter or margarine,
1/4 c whipping cream and brown sugar. Cook over
low heat until the butter is just melted,
stirring occasionally. Pour into two 8 or 9
inch round cake pans. Sprinkle evenly with
the chopped pecans.
2 In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, water,
oil and eggs at low speed until moistened. Beat
2 minutes at the highest speed. Carefully spoon
the batter over the pecan mixture.
3 Bake at 325 degrees F (165 degrees C) for 35
to 45 minutes, or until the cake springs back
when lightly touched in the center. Cool 5
minutes. Remove from the pans and cool completely.
4 In a small bowl, beat the 1 3/4 cups whipping
cream until soft peaks form. Blend in the
confectioners' sugar and vanilla extract. Beat
until stiff peaks form.
5 To assemble the cake, place one layer on a
serving plate, praline side up. Spread with half
of the whipped cream. Top with the second layer.
Frost with the remaining whipped cream.. Store
in refrigerator.
