I love this cake Madonna. Looks easy and delicious.
Penny, While not chocolate or lemon I thought it was a keeper. 🙂
Sounds so yummy! So glad that you found the recipe! For me as a Southerner, pralines are that wonderfully sugary candy from New Orleans and any variation always involves pecans…probably just because that’s what we have here. I did find this, though, which seems to indicate that it’s different in Europe: http://www.basenotes.net/threads/241101-Pralines-vs-Pralines-%97-different-for-Europeans-and-Americans
I have to admit that I have never heard of penuche but it sounds wonderful!
Debbie, Your link made me “curiouser and curiouser”, so I guess I am not the only one confused by pralines. I also wondered where I came up with punuche, but I found the recipe in my very,very old BH&G cookbook (a variation sans nuts), you know the one with the red checked covering?
The cake sounds delicious and a perfect Fall/Winter one. When I recently made an apple cake with brown sugar frosting, I immediately thought penuche. I guess it’s from my memory of a kid and my mom loving penuche fudge. Isn’t it funny how food evokes memories for us?
Hope you have a wonderful week, Madonna!
Kitty, I think I pinned your cake to make. We have had a whole new discussion about our penuche memories, and if I remembered correctly. I found a version in my old BH&G cookbook. I am pretty sure that was my sister’s resource. This recipe uses much less butter. 🙂
Thanks for stopping by, I love hearing from you.
So much about food is about memory, don’t you think? I, too, have very vivid memories of dishes that others have totally forgotten. Anyway, who could ever forget this? Lovely recipe, and I’m nuts about penuche frosting. Or fudge. Or anything. 🙂 Really good — thanks.
Thanks so much John. After I posted I had a mini moment of panic thinking I did not remember correctly, but after a little research and family consultation I’m good. I did remember correctly. This is just a really quick cake when you don’t want lemon or chocolate. If that ever happens…. Thanks for stopping by, I love your input.
This looks incredible and very easy (just my kind of cake!) Walnuts are a favorite of mine. Pinning! Thank you for sharing your recipe with us at Brag About It!

I didn’t realize until recently that pecans are difficult to get or very expensive in Europe so I can see why praline would mean something different there. I think I’d make it with pecans and be very happy indeed. It sounds wonderful and looks delicious! I’ve never made a penuche frosting either so I’m even more tempted to try it.
Susan, I think you would like it no matter which nuts you use. Do try the frosting even if you don’t make the cake. May I suggest any spice cake or an apple cake?
This is perfect! Pinned and tweeted. We appreciate you taking the time to party with us! I hope to see you on Monday at 7 pm, so we get to see your fabulous new creations. The party goes until Friday at 7 pm. Happy Saturday! Lou Lou Girls
I haven’t had a cake like this in years. I’m glad you shared the recipe with us, thanks.
It brought back childhood memories for me Karen. Thank you for stopping by.
This is a cake I would remember a well and giving one away is a good idea
Your Snack Cake looks fabulous! Your recipe is awesome, I have pinned it. We really enjoy you sharing with Full Plate Thursday and hope to see you again soon!
