Melted ice cream is a key ingredient in this delectable golden cake. It's been a family favorite for years and we love the pecan praline flavor. It's also a joy to serve to company since it's not tricky to fix but always wins raves! Ingredients:
1 cup packed brown sugar |
1/2 cup sour cream |
2 tablespoons plus 1/2 cup butter, divided |
2 teaspoons cornstarch |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract, divided |
2 cups vanilla ice cream, softened |
2 eggs |
1-1/2 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1 cup graham cracker crumbs |
2/3 cup sugar |
2-1/2 teaspoons baking powder |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/2 cup chopped pecans, toasted |
whipped cream, optional |
Directions:
1. In a heavy saucepan, combine the brown sugar, sour cream, 2 tablespoons butter and cornstarch; bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Remove from the heat; stir in 1/2 teaspoon vanilla.
2. Melt the remaining butter; place in a large bowl. Add ice cream; stir to blend. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition; stir in the remaining vanilla. In another bowl, mix the flour, cracker crumbs, sugar, baking powder and salt; gradually stir into ice cream mixture.
3. Pour into a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking pan. Drizzle with half of the sauce. Bake at 350° for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool slightly in pan on a wire rack.
4. Add pecans to remaining sauce; spoon over warm cake (sauce will not cover cake completely). Cool cake in pan. Serve with whipped cream if desired. Yield: 15 servings.
