Melted ice cream is a key ingredient in this delectable golden cake. It's been a family favorite for years and we love the pecan praline flavor. It's also a joy to serve to company since it's not tricky to fix but always wins raves! —Joan Hallford North Richland Hills, Texas

Praline Ice Cream Cake Recipe

Prep: 20 min. Bake: 25 min. + cooling

Yield: 15 Servings

20 25 45

Ingredients

1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup sour cream
2 tablespoons plus 1/2 cup butter, divided
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 teaspoon vanilla extract, divided
2 cups vanilla ice cream, softened
2 eggs
1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup graham cracker crumbs
2/3 cup sugar
2-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup chopped pecans, toasted
Whipped cream, optional

Directions

In a heavy saucepan, combine the brown sugar, sour cream, 2 tablespoons butter and cornstarch; bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Remove from the heat; stir in 1/2 teaspoon vanilla.
Melt the remaining butter; place in a large bowl. Add ice cream; stir to blend. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition; stir in the remaining vanilla. In another bowl, mix the flour, cracker crumbs, sugar, baking powder and salt; gradually stir into ice cream mixture.
Pour into a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking pan. Drizzle with half of the sauce. Bake at 350° for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool slightly in pan on a wire rack.
Add pecans to remaining sauce; spoon over warm cake (sauce will not cover cake completely). Cool cake in pan. Serve with whipped cream if desired. Yield: 15 servings.

I love this recipe and always get rave reviews when I make it. Very sweet though.

This cake really tastes good! It is not easy to make -- when I was finished almost everything in the kitchen was in the dishwasher, but the effort was worth it. I halved the recipe and used an 8x8" square pan and baked for about 35 minutes.

Love this cake. Very moist and not terribly sweet like some pralines can be. Very good!! A hit at pot lucks, too.
