Ingredients
  • 1 stick butter
  • ¼ cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • ½ cup chopped pecans
  • 1 box Devil's Food cake mix
  • ¾ cup milk
  • ¾ cup vegetable oil
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • Whipped Cream: 3½ cups heavy cream, ¾ cup powdered sugar, 2 tsp vanilla
  • Garnish: Chocolate curls and ¼ cup toasted pecans
Directions
  1. In a small saucepan, add butter, heavy cream, and brown sugar. Cook and stir over low heat until butter is melted.
  2. Remove from heat and stir in ½ cup pecans.
  3. Spray a 13 x 9 pan with cooking oil spray and pour praline mixture into pan.
  4. In a large bowl, combine cake mix, milk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla. Beat on low speed for about 30 seconds and increase speed and beat for another 2 minutes.
  5. Spoon chocolate batter over praline mixture in pan carefully spreading it around to edges without displaced the pecan mixture too much.
  6. Bake at 350 degrees for 28 minutes. Use a toothpick to test to see if it is done. If the toothpick comes out clean, the cake is ready.
  7. Very quickly (about 1 to 2 minutes after removing from oven), flip this cake out onto a sheet pan. If you wait, the praline mixture will cool too much and get stuck.
  8. Let cake cool on pan.
  9. Layer in trifle dish or large clear glass bowl: ⅓ cake, ⅓ whipped cream, repeat two times.
  10. Top with chocolate curls and toasted pecans.
