Ingredients: 1/2 cup butter or margarine 1/4 cup whipping cream 1 cup packed brown sugar 3/4 cup coarsely chopped pecans 1 box Betty Crocker® SuperMoist® yellow cake mix 1 cup (from 15-oz can) pumpkin (not pumpkin pie mix) 1/2 cup water 1/3 cup vegetable oil 4 eggs 1 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice 1 container (1 lb) Betty Crocker® Rich & Creamy cream cheese frosting Caramel topping, if desired Additional coarsely chopped pecans, if desired Directions: 1. Heat oven to 325°F. In 1-quart heavy saucepan, stir together butter, whipping cream and brown sugar. Cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, just until butter is melted. Pour into 2 (9- or 8-inch) round cake pans; sprinkle evenly with 3/4 cup pecans. 2. In large bowl, beat cake mix, pumpkin, water, oil, eggs and 1 teaspoon of the pumpkin pie spice with electric mixer on low speed until moistened. Beat 2 minutes on medium speed. Carefully spoon batter over pecan mixture in each pan. 3. Bake 43 to 45 minutes or until cake springs back when touched lightly in center. Cool 5 minutes; remove from pans to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 1 hour. 4. Stir remaining 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice into frosting. To assemble cake, place 1 layer, praline side up, on serving plate. Spread with half of the frosting. Top with second layer, praline side up; spread remaining frosting to edge of layer. Drizzle with caramel topping and additional pecans. Store loosely covered in refrigerator. https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3531/3948056321_b1de608d4b.jpg
