I made this cake as a substitute for pumpkin pie, which neither me or my husband really care for. It turned out really great, but next time I will be sure to spoon the batter over the praline rather than pour from the bowl, which caused most of the toppings to slide out to the edges. I like that it goes nicely as a coffee cake for a snack or brunch.
