Praline Layer Cake
The "cooked" buttercream in this cake is an old-fashioned method that yields delicious results. The "praline" is one of the South's most beloved sweets, and in this show-stopping layer cake, it certainly does not disappoint. Candied pecans add a toasty crunch to the top of the cake, while the soft layers are held together with a dark brown, nutty filling and a light buttercream.
