Whipped Caramel Pecan Cake Recipes

GOOEY CARAMEL-PECAN CAKE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pans). Grease two 8- or 9-inch round cake pans, or spray with baking spray with flour.
• Make and bake cake mix as directed on box for two 8-inch or 9-inch rounds. Cool 10 minutes. Run knife around sides of pans to loosen cakes; remove from pans to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 1 hour.
• In 1-quart saucepan, heat caramels, butter and whipping cream over medium heat 6 to 8 minutes, stirring frequently, until caramels are melted and mixture is smooth. (Or place caramels, butter and whipping cream in 4-cup glass measuring cup; microwave uncovered on High 1 to 3 minutes, stirring once or twice.) Stir pecans into melted caramel. Cool 30 to 45 minutes or until firm enough to spread without running over edge of cake.
• Place 1 cake layer on plate, round side down. Spread with 1 cup of the pecan filling. Top with second layer, round side up. Spread remaining pecan filling into 4- to 5-inch circle on top of cake. Spread chocolate frosting on rest of top and side of cake. Store loosely covered.

WHIPPED CARAMEL PECAN CAKE

Steps:

• Mix cake mix, egg whites, oil and water. Pour into greased 9x13 pan. Bake at 350 for 35 minutes. Allow to cool completely before frosting!
• While cake is cooling mix whipping cream, butter flavor and sugar with hand or stand mixer, until peaks form. Evenly sprinkle pecans on cake. Drizzle caramel topping over pecans. You can go more or less here. I prefer a little more myself. :) then just spread that awesome whipped topping over entire cake! Don't forget this needs to be refrigerated!! Enjoy this light and satisfying delight!
• Add a little extra drizzle of caramel to the top of the cake when serving!
