Praline-Pumpkin Cake
Ingredients
1/2 cup butter or margarine
1/4 cup whipping cream
1 cup packed brown sugar
3/4 cup coarsely chopped pecans
1 yellow cake mix
1 cup canned pumpkin (not pumpkin pie mix)
1/2 cup water
1/3 cup vegetable oil
4 eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
1 cream cheese frosting
Caramel topping, if desired
Additional coarsely chopped pecans, if desired
Directions
1. Heat oven to 325�F. In 1-quart heavy saucepan, stir together butter,
whipping cream and brown sugar. Cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, just
until butter is melted. Pour into two ungreased 9- or 8-inch round cake pans;
sprinkle evenly with 3/4 cup pecans.
2. In large bowl, beat cake mix, pumpkin, water, oil, eggs and 1 teaspoon of
the pumpkin pie spice with electric mixer on low speed until moistened, then on
medium speed 2 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally. Carefully spoon batter over
pecan mixture in each pan.
3. Bake 41 to 47 minutes or until cake springs back when touched lightly in
center. Cool 5 minutes; remove from pans to cooling rack. Cool completely,
about 1 hour.
4. Stir remaining 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice into frosting. To assemble
cake, place 1 layer, praline side up, on serving plate. Spread with half of the
frosting. Top with second layer, praline side up; spread remaining frosting to
edge of layer. Drizzle with caramel topping and additional pecans. Store
loosely covered in refrigerator.
