Zubereitung von Praline Turtle Cake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans. Line the bottoms with parchment paper.
- In a 2-quart saucepan, combine 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, 1 cup packed light brown sugar, and 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until butter is melted and sugar is dissolved. Do not boil.
- Divide the caramel mixture evenly between the prepared pans.
- Sprinkle 3/4 cup chopped pecans over each caramel layer.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, 1 cup low-fat sour cream, 1/2 cup vegetable oil, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 tablespoon white vinegar.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing with a wooden spoon until just combined. Stir in 1/2 cup hot water until batter is smooth.
- Pour batter over the caramel-pecan layers in the prepared pans.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let cakes cool in pans for 10 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely. Remove parchment paper.
- Once cooled, place one cake layer on a serving plate, caramel side up.
- Top with the second cake layer, caramel side up.
- Optional: Spread 1/2 cup fudge sauce (or melted chocolate) and 1/2 cup chocolate chips over one layer before adding the second, as per the original recipe. Drizzle with remaining melted chocolate and 1/4 cup pecans.
- Frost the sides of the cake with your favorite chocolate frosting.
