Our Most Showstopping Cakes Ever

• Praline-Pecan Cakes
  
• Praline Pecans
  
• Sour Cream-Pecan Cake Batter
  

Cook's Notes
Use the small disposable foil pans, available at the supermarket, for Praline-Pecan Cakes; the shiny surface (which reflects heat away from the pan) and the shorter bake time ensure the praline coating doesn't overbrown. Be sure to generously butter the pans before sprinkling with chopped Praline Pecans. We used about ¼ cup softened butter to grease 9 (5- x 3-inch) foil pans.
