PECAN PRALINE BUTTER CRUNCH CAKE



Pecan Praline Butter Crunch Cake image

This cake I created when I was packing to move and didn't have all my baking tools handy. I usually bake from scratch, but I used a box mix to start and added in lots of goodies. I called it my 'experiment' and it turned into one of the yummiest cakes I've ever made.

CHOCOLATE-PECAN BUTTER CRUNCH



Chocolate-Pecan Butter Crunch image

We coated our butter crunch with a layer of melted chocolate. You can leave the candy covered and simply cut it into squares or break it into pieces when cool.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes

Yield Makes 2 to 3 dozen pieces

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/2 pound (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature, plus more for pan
1/3 cup water
1 cup sugar
2 cups chopped pecans, plus more halves (optional) for top
8 ounces semisweet chocolate (optional)
2 tablespoons light corn syrup (optional)

Steps:

  • Butter a 9-inch square baking pan, and line the bottom with a piece of parchment paper that extends up and over two sides. Butter the parchment, and set the pan aside.
  • Place the butter and water in a large saucepan. Cook over medium-high heat until the butter is melted. Add the sugar, and stir constantly until dissolved and the mixture comes to a boil. Using a pastry brush dipped in water, brush away any sugar crystals on the side of the pan to prevent recrystallization. Cook until the mixture is dark amber in color. Remove from heat, and stir in the pecans. Pour into the prepared baking pan, and let stand at room temperature to cool completely.
  • Place the chocolate and corn syrup, if using, in a small heat-proof bowl set over a pan of barely simmering water. Stir occasionally until combined and completely melted. Let cool slightly, and spread over the top of the cooled toffee. Arrange the pecan halves on top, and let sit at room temperature until the chocolate has cooled completely and set, at least 2 hours or overnight. Carefully unmold by lifting out the parchment paper. Break or cut into pieces, and store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 month.

FINO & BUTTER POACHED PEACHES WITH GINGER PECAN CRUNCH



Fino & butter poached peaches with ginger pecan crunch image

Make the most of summer peaches with this easy take on a fruit crumble. The addition of ginger, pecans and fino sherry give the dessert a touch of luxury

Provided by Rosie Birkett

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 12

110g plain flour
2 tsp ground ginger
50g unsalted butter , diced and chilled
50g muscovado sugar
50g pecan nuts , roughly chopped
1 tbsp pumpkin seeds , roughly chopped
4 ripe peaches
1 vanilla pod
200ml fino sherry
60g unsalted butter
2 tbsp maple syrup
100g thick Greek yogurt , to serve

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 4. Line a baking sheet with baking parchment. To make the crunch, put the flour in a bowl with the ginger and a pinch of salt and rub in the butter until you have a breadcrumb consistency. Mix in the sugar, pecans and pumpkin seeds. Throw in a splash of water and clump some of the mixture together using your fingers (this will make lovely crispy chunks). Tip the mix onto the baking sheet and bake for 15-20 mins until golden and crunchy. Remove from the oven, allow to cool slightly, then break it up. You can do this stage a few hours ahead of time.
  • Slice the peaches in half and remove (but keep) the stones. Slice open the vanilla pod and put the seeds in a pan with the sherry, butter, maple syrup and peach stones (they add a lovely almond note), along with the vanilla pods. Gently heat up, stirring, until the butter has melted and the mixture is gently simmering. Add the peach halves and poach for 20-30 mins until tender. Serve the peaches in little bowls with a splash of the poaching liquor, a dollop of natural yogurt and some of the crunch on top.
