    1 1/4   c            Water
      1/3   c            Oil

   Heat oven to 325 degrees. In small heavy saucepan, combine butter,
   1/4 cup whipping cream and brown sugar. Cook over low heat, just
   until butter is melted, stirring occasionally. Pour into 2 - 8 or 9″
   round cake pans; sprinkle evenly with chopped pecans. In large bowl,
   combine cake mix, water, oil and eggs at low speed until moistened;
   beat 2 minutes at highest speed. Carefully, spoon batter over pecan
   mixture. Bake @ 325 degrees 35 to 45 minutes or until cake springs
   back when touched lightly in center. Cool 5 minutes. Remove from
   pans. Cool completely. In small bowl, beat 1 3/4 cups whipping cream
   until soft peaks form. Blend in powdered sugar and vanilla; beat
   until stiff peaks form. 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 whipping
   cream. Garnish with whole pecans and chocolate curls, if desired.
   Store in refrigerator.
