To make this Decadent Chocolate Praline Cake, you will need the following ingredients:
For the cake:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup boiling water
For the praline:
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chopped pecans
To make the cake, preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add the buttermilk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract and mix until well combined. Stir in the boiling water and mix until the batter is smooth.
Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared cake pans. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean. Allow the cakes to cool completely before removing them from the pans.
To make the praline, combine the sugar, heavy cream, and butter in a medium saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar has dissolved. Increase the heat to high and bring the mixture to a boil. Cook for 5-7 minutes or until the mixture thickens and turns a caramel color. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract, salt, and chopped pecans.
To assemble the cake, place one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread a layer of praline over the top of the cake. Place the second cake layer on top of the praline layer. Spread another layer of praline over the top of the cake. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.
This Decadent Chocolate Praline Cake is a showstopper dessert that will impress your guests. The rich chocolate cake is perfectly complemented by the sweet and nutty praline topping. The cake is moist and tender, and the praline adds a satisfying crunch. This dessert is perfect for any special occasion or celebration.
