Seasonal Favorite: Praline Spice Cake

This is one of my favorite recipes for the fall... Be careful though, because if the humidity is too high when cooking it, the icing might not set (don't make this when it's raining).


Praline Spice Cake

1 box spice cake mix
2 cups sugar
½ cup half-n-half
1 stick butter
30 caramel candies (or 1 cup bulk caramel for candy making)
2 cups pecan halves
1 teaspoon vanilla

Bake spice cake according to directions on box in a greased 9x13 inch pan (add a little cinnamon, nutmeg and allspice if desired). Cook the sugar, half-n-half and butter to soft ball stage. Add caramels until melted, then add pecans and vanilla. Poke holes in cake with large fork. Pour praline topping on cake. Serve as soon as praline topping sets.
