SOUTHERN PECAN PRALINE CAKE

Steps:

• Grease and flour three nine-inch round cake pans and preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Cream the butter with both granulated sugar and light brown sugar until very light and fluffy, then add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
• Sift the flour with the baking powder, baking soda and salt and add to the batter alternately with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry mixture. Stir in the vanilla extract.
• Divide batter evenly among the prepared pans and bake in the center of the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in the center of the layers comes out clean. Cool layers in their pans over a rack for ten minutes, then loosen and turn out layers directly onto racks for cooling. Cool layers thoroughly before icing.
• For the icing, melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Remove from heat, then stir in granulated sugar and light brown sugar. (Sugars will not dissolve).
• In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks with the evaporated milk until smooth, then whisk this mixture into the saucepan with the sugar mixture. Return saucepan to a medium heat setting and cook, whisking constantly, until mixture is thick, shiny and caramel-like, about 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract and pecans.

SOUTHERN PECAN PRALINE CAKE WITH BUTTER SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350F degrees.
• Spray a 9x13 baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
• I know I say this all the time but it bears repeating for the new cooks out there, I love the nonstick spray that has flour in it for baking.
• In a medium bowl (or your stand mixer bowl), combine all the cake ingredients except for the chopped pecans.
• Don't forget to add the tub of coconut pecan frosting. That goes into the cake batter too!
• I just dump it all in there then let the mixer do the work.
• Once it's all combined, stir in 1/2 cup chopped pecans.
• Pour batter into greased baking dish.
• Bake for about 40 minutes.
• As with most baked goods, oven times vary but cake should spring back to the touch and be golden brown.
• And if you insert a toothpick into the middle it should come out clean.
• This cake is perfectly good just like this.
• It is moist and yummy.
• But we're gonna take it up a notch with some butter sauce.
• In a small pot over medium heat, melt 2 tbsp. butter.
• Pour in can of sweetened condensed milk with the melted butter and stir.
• Continue to stir until heated thoroughly, then add 1/2 cup chopped pecans.
• Stir again then take off heat.
• Then spoon this deliciously yummy sauce over individual slices of cake.
• I pour the sauce over the individual slices instead of just pouring it over the whole cake because I love to be able to scoop up some of the sauce off my plate as I eat it and I don't want the sauce to just become part of the cake.
• But if you are feeding a crowd, it may be easier to pour the sauce over the entire cake before serving. This sauce takes this cake from yum to yowsers!
• You can also make this in a bundt pan. Bake for about 50 minutes.
