How to Make Praline Zucchini Cake

Step-by-Step

Preheat oven to 350.
Mix everything except the nuts for about 4 minutes in a stand mixer, until very thick and smooth.
Mix in the nuts, then pour the batter into a sprayed 9x13 inch pan.
Bake for 45 minutes or until a tester comes out with just moist crumbs clinging to it.
Let the cake cool for about 10 minutes, then poke it all over with a skewer.
In a small saucepan,combine butter, brown sugar, cream and salt, heat until it boils.
Remove from heat and stir in pecans and vanilla. Pour warm sauce over the cake before serving.
