Yield
20 servings (if cut 4x5)


Ingredients
Base
1 pkg white angel food cake mix 430 g
1 ¼ cups cold water 300 mL
1 cup finely chopped pecans 250 mL
2 cups whipping cream 500 mL
3 Tbsp icing sugar 45 mL
1 tsp vanilla 5 mL
Sauce
1 cup whipping cream 250 mL
1 Tbsp butter 15 mL
1 cup brown sugar 250 mL
3 Tbsp butter ripple schnaps 45 mL


Directions
Sauce: In medium saucepan, over medium-low heat, mix together all sauce ingredients. Bring to boil, stirring frequently. Boil 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Cover. Refrigerate until cold.

Cake: Combine cake mix and water in large bowl. Using electric mixer, beat on low speed for 30 seconds. Scrape batter from sides of bowl. Beat on medium speed for 1 minute. Gently fold in pecans. Pour into ungreased 10-inch tube pan (angel food cake pan). Bake at 350°F 40-50 minutes or until top is lightly browned and cracks feel very dry and not sticky. Do not underbake. Immediately turn pan upside down. Cool completely, at least 2 hours. Whip cream until thickened. Add icing sugar and vanilla into cream. Continue beating until soft peaks form. Set aside. Remove cake from pan. Using an electric or serrated knife, slice cake horizontally into 3 equal layers. Spread 1/3 of caramel sauce on bottom layer. Top with about 1 cup of whipped cream. Top with middle layer of the cake. Spread with 1/3 of caramel
sauce and 1 cup of whipped cream. Top with top layer of cake. Spread with ½ remaining caramel sauce. Top and ice cake with remaining whipping cream. Drizzle with remaining caramel sauce over cake. Decorate with whole pecans if desired. Serve with fruit if desired.
