Yellow Box Cake With Praline Sauce

I was disappointed when I pulled the box cake from the pantry. I had my heart set on chocolate. But I was not going to let that stop me. A yellow butter cake would be good enough for my desired praline sauce. Praline sauce was the ultimate goal. The ingredients listed on the box were water, butter, and eggs. Instead of using the listed ingredients, I replaced water with buttermilk, used the correct amount of butter, used 4 eggs instead of 3, and added 1/2 cup of ricotta cheese. I whipped that cake and set it in the oven at 350 degrees for about 35 minutes. While the cake was still hot, I poked holes and added the praline sauce. Oh, it turned out to be a delight!
Praline Sauce
1 stick of butter
1 cup packed brown sugar, light or dark
1 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon salt
toasted pecans and coconut, optional,
Melt the butter, add the brown sugar, and stir until the sugar is dissolved. Add the cream, stirring until blended and smooth. Add the salt and vanilla. Add nuts and coconut. This can be used as a topping for cakes or over ice cream.

Thank you.

You really used expensive ingredients but that’s what is taking this to a whole new level! I’m sure your family loved this

[@helencantimagine]

Jersey, It's just me here at home. I'm widowed, and my children are grown and gone. I did share with my sister and a cousin. I could have eaten the whole thing but I didn't need all those calories. Sometimes, I make vegan things for my oldest daughter, who lives at the other end of my driveway. Yes, it's expensive when you have a family you cook for every day. I spread those expensive things out over the months.

Hello Helen. This looks so delicious. Thanks for sharing the process. Happy Wednesday. 💕💕

Hey Msjay, Thank you for watching. I enjoyed meeting you last night.

[@pandapie9012]

I love cake! Usually cheesecake or hummingbird cake, but this looks super tasty too!

[@helencantimagine]

Hey Panda, Oh, hummingbird cake is a favorite. I remember making one for my girlfriend's birthday. It's so moist and a favorite for banana lovers.

[@pandapie9012]

@@helencantimagine My mom makes it sometimes, and I always love when she does. Oh, and dump cake and bundt cake!

[@helencantimagine]

@@pandapie9012 Yes, cakes! There are so many different kinds for everyone's taste.

What is hummingbird cake? Do you have a recipe? I would love to try it.

[@helencantimagine]

@@user-yu5nu7em4z Thank you for asking. Yes, I have a Southern Living magazine recipe for hummingbird cake. I'll find it and post it or make a video. I'll need to go to the grocery store for ingredients. It has bananas in it, and it is moist and yummy.

[@janteynor5524]

Frosting sounds amazing! 😊

[@helencantimagine]

Hey Jan, I'm happy to say it was out of this world good. All I really wanted that day was praline sauce. You can't just eat praline sauce!! Well, you could. So the cake seemed like a great idea. I've thought about that cake every day and how much I'd like another slice. Thank you for watching, and I appreciate your comment. I hope you will drop by again for a visit.

[@SusanMann-mu7ft]

Looks delicious!

[@helencantimagine]

It was good. I had to share those calories with my sister and auntie.

[@SouthernWomanLifestyle]

Yummy in my tummy 😊❤

[@helencantimagine]

It was a delicious cake. All gone.

[@BakingJane]

Have to try it!

[@helencantimagine]

Hey Jane, It was an experiment. I wanted praline sauce, and cake seemed the best thing to "carry" the sauce. I've always heard you could add those extra ingredients to box cakes, so I did. The cake is all gone, but I'm still thinking about how good it was! Hmm, it was good. Thank you for subscribing and watching the video. I appreciate it.

Love you Helen

Aw, @melodyoverby8442, how very kind of you. You make my day a great one!

[@martha_makes_art]

Sounds so good😋

It was Martha.

[@terryruiz7417]

Consider adding cocoa powder to cake mix. Chocolate, and I'm sure it will work for you! Love frosting!

[@helencantimagine]

Hey Terry, Thank you for the idea. I'll put that in my "mind filing cabinet." I appreciate you watching and commenting.

[@jerseylovesteph]

Looks delicious

[@helencantimagine]

Thank you, Jersey. It was really good and tasty. I want to make another one, 'cause I didn't enough the first time. I gave some to my sister and cousin. I appreciate you stopping by.

[@jerseylovesteph]

@@helencantimagine I gotta watch the whole video, I’m not much of a baker I do more dinner dishes but in the winter I definitely enjoy delicious sweets.

[@helencantimagine]

@@jerseylovesteph Hey Jersey, I can't remember the last time I prepared a whole meal. When my husband and children were at home, I made all their food. I missed doing all that cooking. I wanted to share those recipes and memories with my children, so I started this KZbin channel.

[@kathyvalencia32]

FYI: you could have added cocoa powder to your yellow cake mix

[@helencantimagine]

Kathy, you're right!! I didn't think about it at the time, but it was delicious nonetheless. Thank you for your comment. I still think about how good it tasted.

[@zinsmcfarland8187]

When your eggs are not at room temperature just put them in a bowl of warm water for about 15 minutes

[@helencantimagine]

Thank you, zinsmcfarland8187. I usually do that, but I was really in a hurry that day. I do appreciate your comment, and I'm so happy you watched the video. Please, if you have more tips send them to me so that everyone reading the comments can learn from them.
