Best Praline Glazed Cake Or Muffin Topping Recipes

PRALINE BUNDT CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325°F. Coat a 12 cup bundt pan heavily with nonstick spray. Alternately you can grease the pan with shortening and lightly dust with flour. Set aside.
• In the bowl of your stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment beat the butter and both sugars together until light and fluffy on medium speed. Add in the eggs, vanilla, salt, and baking powder and mix until smooth, scraping the sides of the bowl as necessary.
• Turn the mixer to low and add in 1 cup of the flour and 1/2 cup milk. Mix for 20 seconds and add in 1 more cup of flour and the remaining 1/2 cup of milk and mix for 20 seconds and finally add in the last cup of flour. Mix for 30 seconds until combined, scraping the sides of the bowl as necessary.
• Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
• Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 15-20 minutes and then invert the pan onto a cake plate.
• In a medium sauce pot over medium heat whisk together the brown sugar, butter, and milk. Bring the mixture to a boil and boil for 1 minute. Remove the pot from the heat and whisk in the vanilla and powdered sugar until there are no lumps.
• Allow the icing to cool for 5 - 10 minutes to thicken slightly and then stir in the chopped pecans.
• Pour the icing on top of the cake evenly.
• Allow the icing to set and serve.

PRALINE TOPPING

Steps:

• Melt butter in a heavy saucepan over low heat; stir in brown sugar, pecans, and nutmeg. Stir constantly and bring topping to a boil; allow to simmer until topping thickens slightly, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
• To use as pie topping, spoon topping onto pie and broil until topping bubbles; watch carefully to avoid burning. Let pie cool before serving.
• To use as ice cream topping, just spoon warm or cooled topping over ice cream and serve.

CANTALOUPE MUFFINS WITH PRALINE TOPPING

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease 10 jumbo muffin cups or line with paper muffin liners.
• Mix pecans, brown sugar, 1/2 cup flour, and softened butter together in a bowl until mixture is crumbly.
• Beat 1 cup white sugar and oil together in a bowl with an electric mixer until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat pureed cantaloupe and vanilla extract into sugar mixture.
• Whisk 1 1/2 cup flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt together in a mixing bowl. Stir flour mixture into cantaloupe puree mixture; gently fold in cantaloupe chunks and lemon zest. Pour batter into prepared muffin cups.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Remove from oven and sprinkle pecan mixture over the top of each muffin. Continue baking until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 10 more minutes. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack.

PECAN PRALINE TOPPING

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300°F. Butter rimmed baking sheet. Using fork, beat egg white and 1 tablespoon water in medium bowl until foamy. Add brown sugar and stir until sugar dissolves. Add pecan halves and toss to coat. Spread pecan mixture on prepared baking sheet (some egg white-sugar mixture will flow out onto baking sheet). Bake until nuts are deep brown and crisp, stirring occasionally, about 25 minutes. Remove from oven; stir to loosen nuts from baking sheet. Cool nuts completely on sheet. (Can be prepared 3 days ahead. Store in airtight container at room temperature.)

PRALINE CAKE

Steps:

• Prepare and bake cake mix according to package directions for a 9x13 inch pan. When done, allow cake to cool and leave in pan. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• In a large saucepan, combine brown sugar, flour, butter and egg. Cook over low heat for 3 minutes, or until thickened. Remove from heat and stir in pecans and vanilla. Spread over cake. Place in preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes.

PRALINE MINI CAKES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pans). Generously grease and lightly flour 12 mini fluted tube cake pans or 12 jumbo muffin cups (do not spray with cooking spray).
• In large bowl, beat cake mix, water, oil and eggs with electric mixer on low speed 30 seconds, then on medium speed 2 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally. Fold in pecans and 1/2 cup toffee bits. Divide batter evenly among mini pans.
• Bake 18 to 23 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center of cake comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes; remove from pans to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 1 hour.
• In 1-quart saucepan, melt butter over medium-high heat. Stir in brown sugar, corn syrup and milk. Heat to rolling boil over medium-high heat, stirring frequently; remove from heat. Immediately beat in powdered sugar and vanilla with whisk until smooth. Immediately drizzle about 1 tablespoon glaze over each cake; sprinkle each with 1 teaspoon toffee bits. Store loosely covered.
