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.

Overall, this is a great recipe for a special occasion cake. It's a bit time-consuming to make, but it's worth the effort. I would definitely recommend it.

I had some trouble getting the cake to bake evenly. The edges were overcooked while the center was still undercooked. I think I might have needed to adjust the oven temperature or baking time.

This cake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still good. I think I would try making it with less sugar next time.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my cake didn't turn out anything like the picture. It was dense and dry, and the praline filling was gritty.

This cake was a disappointment. The praline filling was too runny and the glaze was too thick. The cake itself was also dry and crumbly.
