I made this several years ago during the holidays and it was devoured. Now it is a requested fave. It does need to be refridgerated b/c of the icing.

This is a delicious cake, and the praline mixture puts it over the top in terms of taste. Really yummy. Note that the photo shows a two-layer cake with icing on the side of the cake. The directions call for a 9x13 pan. I used the 9x13 pan and put icing over the top of the praline mixture. I also used 1 cup of cooled coffee left from breakfast instead of the coffee liqueur.

Oh my! This was one of the best cakes I have ever had! I used a cup of strong instant coffee instead of the liquer and used about 1/3 the amount of pecans (just because they are expensive) and an 8 oz container of cool whip instead of 12. It turned out perfect!! Definitely recommend this to anyone looking to indulge!

The only part of this recipe I used was the cake itself.I think 1 cup of coffee liquor was way to much and it tasted strange and kind of nasty. But maybe if I had also used the toppings and frosting it wouldn't have been bad. I used my own frosting. It just tasted strange to me though. (My frosting was good, the cake's flavor was strange)

I think that you should know that the icing along is worth five stars!

Excellent! Husband, sister-in-law, and I loved it. It is rich, very filling, and yummy. Sister-in-law suggests less kahlua, will try 3/4 cup next time. Maybe will try adding nutmeg. Overall, 5 star recipie

I made only the frosting from this recipe and it was so good!!! I used it to top a layered sponge cake and I will definitely use it again.

This recipe is delicious. The pralines got rock hard quicker than i thought, and for some reason my cake didn't hold up. Too many eggs? Next time, should I make the cake as directed by the white cake mix box instead? I don't know where I messed up there. But all in all, it was very tasty.

I made these for a baby shower I was attending. I'm chocolate fan myself, but I know not everyone shares my chocolate obsession. Needless to say, everyone who tried these squares, was in love with them. They are Fabulous!! I also like the fact that they have a more grown up taste (its not just kids who like sweets).

This recipe was excellent, but I preferred some modifications. First of all, I don't think the second time around I would use the icing--the praline topping was enough and I found the icing to be a little salty (perhaps b/c of the cream cheese?)--not worth it. I made a regualar dream whip cake since I wasn't sure if my guests (in-laws) would like coffee flavored cake. The praline mixture was great, but a little to thick on my 9" round cake. Next time, I will just ice the whole cake with the pralines. Another reason for this is that the praline topping gets very hard when refrigerated, but the icing needs to be refrigerated because of the dairy products. Just my thoughts...still a great recipe.

Yummm!!! Even my non-cake-eating husband raved! I used coffee instead of coffee liquor and real whipped cream instead of cool whip. The frosting was out of this world...cleaned the bowl with a slice of bread...:-)

Very good! Next time I make it I would make it a day ahead as I believe it gets better as it sits. A nice special occasion cake. A little rich, but very good.
