INGREDIENTS FOR CAKE:
2 stick of unsalted butter, soft
1 1/2 c extra fine granulated sugar
1 c light brown sugar
4 large eggs, room temperature
1 Tbsp vanilla extract
3 1/4 c all-purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 c milk
1/2 c chopped pecans
SOUTHERN PRALINE ICING:
1 1/2 stick unsalted butter
1 c extra fine granulated sugar
1/2 c light brown sugar
4 large egg yolks
12 oz evaporated milk
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 to 2 c chopped pecans (depends on how much you like pecans.)

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • 2. Butter and flour three nine inch round baking pans, then set aside.
  • 3. Cream the butter until creamy, add the sugars and cream further. Add eggs one at a time waiting for previous added egg to be fully incorporated into mixture. Scrape in between additions. Cream until light and fluffy. Add vanilla extract.
  • 4. Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Add one fourth of the flour and combine, and then add a third of the milk and combine. Repeat with flour and milk until all is incorporated. Stir in 1/2 cup pecans.
  • 5. Divide the batter evenly into the prepared pans and place in the oven. Bake for approximately 30-35 minutes or until the center bounces back when gently pressed or an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
  • 6. Let sit for 10 minutes before removing from pan. Let cool.
  • 7. For the icing, melt the butter in a saucepan.
  • 8. Remove from heat and add the sugars, stir to combine.

This cake is a bit time-consuming to make, but it is worth the effort. The praline topping is what really makes this cake special. I highly recommend trying this recipe.

This cake is a Southern classic. The praline topping is a perfect complement to the sweet cake. I love serving this cake at parties and gatherings.

This cake was a disaster. The praline topping was too hard and the cake was dry. I followed the recipe exactly, but something must have gone wrong.

Wow! This cake is amazing! The praline topping is divine. I can't believe how easy it was to make. I will definitely be making this cake again and again.

This cake was easy to make and turned out beautifully. The praline topping was a bit too sweet for my taste, but my guests loved it. I would definitely make this cake again, but I would reduce the amount of sugar in the praline topping.

I'm not usually a fan of pralines, but this cake changed my mind. The praline topping was perfectly balanced with the sweet cake and creamy frosting. I would definitely recommend this cake to anyone who loves pralines or Southern desserts.
