Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. For Southern Praline Icing:
  2. 3/4 cup butter or margarine
  3. 1 cup Granulated Sugar
  4. 1/2 cup Light Brown Sugar, firmly packed
  5. 4 large eggs of yolk
  6. 1 large can (12 oz.) evaporated milk
  7. 2 tsp. vanilla extract
  8. 2 cups chopped pecans
  9. Melt the butter or margarine in a large saucepan over medium heat. Remove from heat, then stir in Granulated Sugar and Imperial 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 fifteen to twenty minutes. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract and pecans. Cool icing to a good spreading consistency (about thirty minutes), then spread evenly between cooled cake layers and over the top and sides of the cake. Recipe yields icing for a nine-inch, three-layer cake.
