Pralines 'n Cream Cake

Essential Everyday

1 (18.25 ounce) package white cake mix

1 (16 ounce) container sour cream

1 (3.4 ounce) package vanilla instant pudding & pie filling

½ cup + 2 tablespoons coffee flavored liqueur, divided

1/3 cup vegetable oil

3 large eggs

1 cup butter

1 cup firmly packed light brown sugar

1 (6 ounce) package chopped pecans

1 (8 ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed

1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened

½ cup caramel ice cream topping

Honestly I like Kahlua even more for cooking than I do for drinking.


In large mixing bowl combine cake mix, sour cream, pudding mix, ½ cup liqueur, oil and eggs. Using an electric mixer on medium speed, beat 2 minutes. Transfer to a greased 13x9-inch baking pan.

Bake in a preheated 350F oven 50-55 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Remove from oven; set aside.

In medium saucepan over medium heat, combine butter and brown sugar; bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Stir in pecans; pour over cake. 

This is gonna be SO good, y'all.


Refrigerate several hours or until completely cooled.

In medium bowl, combine whipped topping, cream cheese, caramel topping and remaining 2 tablespoons liqueur; using an electric mixer on medium speed, mix until well combined. Spread over cake. 

Let's take a minute to appreciate that solid praline layer before it gets covered up with frosting.


Drizzle with additional caramel topping, if desired.

Eating it outside in the sunshine made it taste even better!

My Rating: 4/5 "There's so much great stuff going on with this cake. Each of the layers is good on its own, but the combination of the three is pretty magical. Now it's a titch rich (and I say that as someone who usually doesn't have much of a threshold for 'rich') but eat it in small doses and it's so nice!"
