1 recipe chocolate devil’s food cake, baked in three 8-inch rounds. 1 recipe thick caramel sauce (recipe follows), slightly warm. 1 cup chopped toasted pecans, plus 18 whole toasted pecans ...

Remove from the oven and let the cake cool in the dish for at least 15 minutes. Serve with a generous dollop of whipped cream and an extra sprinkle of chopped pecans for a truly indulgent dessert.

1. Set the oven at 350 degrees. Have on hand a small baking dish, a 9-inch springform pan, and a rimmed baking sheet. 2. In the baking dish, spread the pecans.

The star of this dessert is its topping, a luscious mix of melted butter, brown sugar, corn syrup, and a pinch of salt, blended until smooth and studded with chopped pecans.

Ask Addie: Help! I've lost my favorite spiced pecan recipe from 30 years ago. Turtle Cake. For decades, the turtle cake at Cafe Latte was voted the favorite cake in St. Paul, Minnesota.
