TEXAS PECAN PRALINES RECIPE: HOW TO MAKE IT



Texas Pecan Pralines Recipe: How to Make It image

My pecan praline recipe is special to me for I received it from my mother, who was an excellent cook! I also am a Texas Aggie Mom and I use pecans from a South Texas Aggie grower that our Aggie Mom's club has purchased from for many years. The quality is outstanding and far better than you will find in any grocery store. —Carol Jones, Blue Ridge, Texas

CLASSIC TEXAS SHEET CAKE RECIPE - BETTYCROCKER.COM



Classic Texas Sheet Cake Recipe - BettyCrocker.com image

If you love chocolate, and we mean really truly love, then this classic Texas sheet cake is exactly what your sweet tooth craves. Between the scratch-made cake and the decadent homemade frosting, this dessert is a chocolate lover’s dream come true. Unlike most cakes, this tender-crumbed delight should be frosted when it’s still hot—no need to let it cool. Pour on the sticky, sweet pecan-flecked frosting and watch it spread into a gloriously glossy blanket that’ll keep your cake moist and fresh tasting for as long as it lasts.
