Top this velvety chocolate cake with a brown sugar and pecan mixture that's the frosting equivalent of classic praline candy. After you make the candy mixture, pour it quickly on top of the two 9-inch square cakes. Ingredients:
chocolate velvet cake batter |
2 cups firmly packed brown sugar |
2/3 cup whipping cream |
1/2 cup butter |
2 cups powdered sugar, sifted |
2 teaspoons vanilla extract |
2 cups chopped pecans, toasted |
Directions:
1. Spoon batter evenly into 2 greased and floured aluminum foil-lined 9- x 9- x 2-inch square pans. Bake at 350° for 40 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pans on a wire rack.
2. Bring brown sugar, whipping cream, and butter to a boil in a 3-quart saucepan over medium heat, stirring often; boil 1 minute. Remove from heat; whisk in powdered sugar and vanilla until smooth. Add pecans, stirring gently 3 to 5 minutes or until mixture begins to cool and slightly thicken. Pour immediately over cakes in pans. Let cool completely. Cut cakes into squares.
