Ingredients
- subheading: Praline Cream Cheese Filling:
- 1 8oz Philadelphia Cream Cheese
- ½ cup butter
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla flavor
- ¼ cup finely chopped pecans (You may add more or less if you’d like)
- subheading: Praline Topping:
- 1 ½ cup evaporated milk
- 2 cups Sugar
- 1 stick butter (½ cup)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla flavor
- 1 ½ cups of pecan pieces
- Extra can of evaporated milk to thin, if needed
Steps
- subheading: Praline Cream Cheese Filling:
- With mixer, blend cream cheese and butter until smooth.
- Gradually add in cups of powdered sugar beating at low speed until blended, then add vanilla flavor.
- Stir in pecans. Allow to slightly chill before frosting cake.
- subheading: Praline Topping:
- On a stovetop melt butter, sugar and evaporated milk in sauce pan on medium heat. Stir to thoroughly combine.
- Bring mixture to a slow boil, then reduce heat to medium/low. Let cook for about 15 minutes without stirring.
- After 15 minutes, stir, scraping the bottom and sides as the mixture will begin to thicken.
- Cook while stirring, making sure mixture does not scorch, for about 10 minutes then add vanilla, stir until combined.
- Remove from heat.
- Pour one and a half cups of pecan pieces into mixture and stir mixing completely. If mixture gets too thick, pour a small amount (about 2 Tbsp. at a time) of evaporated milk to thin.
- Let cool about five minutes before frosting cake. (Do not allow to cool too long as it will thicken. Frosting should be somewhat warm.)
- subheading: Assemble Cake:
- Use your favorite yellow cake recipe to make three 9-inch layers. This should be done in advance of making praline frosting.
- When the cake has cooled, flip one layer over onto a 10-inch round cake board, spread your desired amount of praline cream cheese frosting onto first layer.
- Allow the icing to dry a bit, then add second layer, spread with your desired amount of praline cream cheese frosting.
- After second layer of icing has dried a bit, top with third cake layer. (You will have cream cheese frosting left over.)
- Allow cake to chill in the refrigerator for at least thirty minutes before frosting.
- Frost sides of cooled, refrigerated cake first, then frost the top. Enjoy !!!!
