Time 1h30m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 cup butter or margarine
1 cup brown sugar
½ cup white sugar
4 eggs
1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
1 ½ cups water
1 tablespoon instant coffee granules
4 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
5 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup coarsely chopped pecans
1 cup heavy cream, chilled
⅛ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
½ cup brown sugar, not packed
10 pecan halves

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease just the bottom of a 10 inch tube pan.
  • In a large bowl, cream together the butter, 1 cup brown sugar and white sugar until smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each. Stir in vanilla. Dissolve the coffee crystals in water, and stir into the creamed mixture until blended. Stir together the flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt; stir into the batter until just incorporated. Fold in pecans. Transfer the batter to the prepared pan.
  • Bake for about 55 minutes in the preheated oven, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Cool cake in pan on a wire rack.
  • In a chilled bowl, stir together the heavy cream, salt, vanilla and remaining 1/2 cup brown sugar so that the sugar is dissolved. Whip using chilled beaters until stiff. Run a knife around the outer edge of the cake in the pan, and tap it out onto a serving plate. Make sure cake is completely cool before frosting. Decorate with pecan halves if you like.

  • Add the eggs one at a time. This will help to prevent the batter from curdling.
  • Be careful not to overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough.
  • Bake the cake in a preheated oven. This will help to ensure that the cake bakes evenly.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
  • Enjoy! Texas Praline Cake is a delicious and decadent dessert that is perfect for any occasion.
