PRALINE TURTLE CAKE
What a delish cake -very rich. It is great for celebrations and anytime you need a chocolate fix. I have made this successfully with low fat sour cream. I have amended this just a bit based on my tastes. I have a note at the bottom with what the original recipe called for- which was just more chocolate. This recipe came from Country Living.

Steps:
- To make the cake: Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Butter the bottoms of two 9-inch round cake pans and fit a circle of parchment paper large enough to cover 1 inch up the side of each cake pan. Heat the butter, brown sugar, and sweetened condensed milk in a 2-quart saucepan over medium heat until the butter melts and the sugar is dissolved. Do not boil.
- Divide the sugar mixture between the prepared pans. Sprinkle 3/4 cup pecans over sugar mixture and set aside to cool. Combine the flour, cocoa, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a large bowl. Add the eggs, sour cream, oil, vanilla, and vinegar, and the hot water and mix with a wooden spoon until the batter is smooth.
- Pour the batter into the cake pans -- over sugar mixture -- and bake until a wooden skewer inserted into the cake center comes out clean -- 35 to 40 minutes. Cool cakes in the pans for 10 minutes. Run a knife around the edge of the pans and turn cakes out onto a cooling rack. Remove the paper and cool completely.
- Assemble the cake: Place the first cake layer on a cake plate with the caramel side up. Place the second cake layer on top of that with the caramel side up as well.
- ** originally the recipe called for 1/2 cup fudge sauce and 1/2 cup chocolate chips, melted - Spread the fudge topping over the sugar mixture side of one cake layer. Place the second layer over the first and drizzle with the melted chocolate and the remaining 1/4 cup pecans. Frost the cake sides with your favorite chocolate icing.

Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven 350 degrees Butter 2 cake pans. Line pans with parchment paper. Heat 1/2 cup butter, brown sugar and sweet condensed milk. Heat until sugar is melted but DO NOT BOIL Pour into pans. Sprinkle with chopped pecans. Set pans aside.
- 2. Add flour, cocoa, baking soda ,salt and sugar to a large bowl. Mix well. Add beaten eggs, sour cream, oil, vanilla and vinegar and 1 cup HOT water. Mix well with wooden spoon. Do not beat with mixer. Pour over pecans in pans. Bake 35 - 40 mins. Cool in pans about 10 mins. Then remove from pans. Remove parchment paper. Cool completely
- 3. Drizzle fudge topping over sugar topped cake. Drizzle melted chocolate chips over that. Then place the other layer on top..Repeat with drizzled fudge topping and then drizzled with melted chocolate chips. Then frost the sides only with your favorite chocolate frosting. I use a butter cream chocolate frosting.
Tips:
- Use a high-quality chocolate for the ganache, such as a dark chocolate with at least 70% cocoa solids.
- Make sure the butter and cream cheese are at room temperature before you start making the frosting, so that they will cream together smoothly.
- Don't overbeat the frosting, or it will become stiff and grainy.
- If you don't have a pastry bag, you can use a resealable plastic bag with the corner cut off to pipe the frosting onto the cake.
- Be patient when assembling the cake. It's important to let the layers cool completely before stacking them, and to chill the cake thoroughly before serving.

This praline turtle cake is a delicious and impressive dessert that is perfect for any special occasion.
