Cake:
1/2 C. butter or margarine
1/4 C. whipping cream
1 C. firmly packed brown sugar
3/4 C. pecans, coarsely chopped
1 (18.25 oz.) box devil's food cake mix with pudding included
1 1/4 C. water
1/3 C. vegetable oil

Recipe



Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.

Cake: In small heavy saucepan, combine butter or margarine, whipping cream and brown sugar. Cook over low heat just until butter is melted, stirring occasionally. Pour into two 8- or 9- inch round cake pans; sprinkle evenly with chopped pecans.

In large bowl, combine cake mix, water, oil, and eggs at low speed until moistened; beat 2 minutes at highest speed. Carefully spoon batter over pecan mixture in pans. Bake for 35 to 45 minutes or until top springs back when touched lightly in center. Cool 5 minutes; remove from pans. Cool completely.

Topping: In small bowl, beat whipping cream until soft peaks form. Add confectioners' sugar and vanilla extract; beat until stiff peaks form.

To assemble cake: Place 1 cake layer praline side up on serving plate. Spread top with 1/2 of whipped cream mixture. Top with remaining layer, praline side up. Spread top with remaining whipped cream. Garnish top of cake with whole pecans and chocolate curls.

Makes 12 servings.
