 CAKE:

Preheat oven to 325F.

In small saucepan combine butter, 1/4 cup cream, and brown sugar. Cook over low heat just until butter is melted, stirring occasionally.

Carefully spoon batter over pecan mixture.

Bake for 35 - 45 minutes or until cake springs back when touched lightly in center. Cool 5 minutes. Remove from pans. Cool completely.

TOPPING:

In small bowl, beat 1 3/4 cups cream until soft peaks form. Blend in powdered sugar and vanilla; beat until stiff peaks form.

ASSEMBLY:

To assemble cake, place 1 layer on serving plate, praline side up. Spread with 1/2 of whipped cream. Top with second layer, praline side up. Spread top with remaining whipped cream. Garnish with whole pecans and chocolate curls, if desired.

Store in refrigerator.
