    Brown Sugar Crunch Torte or the Appalachian Brown Sugar Crunch Cake as we call it.

    1 ½ cups chopped pecans
    1 ½ cups crushed vanilla wafers
    (about 38 cookies)
    1 cup packed brown sugar
    1 cup (2 sticks) butter, melted
    Yellow cake mix
    1 ½ cups whipping cream
    3 tablespoons granulated sugar
    1 teaspoon vanilla
    1. Heat oven to 350. Place cooking parchment paper or waxed paper in
    bottoms of 3 round pans, 9×1½”. Stir together pecans, crushed
    cookies, brown sugar and butter. Spread about ¾ cup mixture in
    each pan; reserve remaining mixture. Make cake as directed on
    package. Pour about 1 ¼ cups batter over mixture in each pan
    2. Bake about 20 minutes or until tops spring back when touched lightly.
    Immediately remove from pans to wire rack and peel off paper.
    Cool completely.
    3. Beat whipping cream, granulated sugar and vanilla in chilled large
    bowl with electric mixer on high speed until stiff. Place l layer, walnut
    side up, on serving plate; spread with about ¾ cup of the whipped
    cream. Repeat with remaining layers and whipped cream. Or place
    whipped cream for top layer in decorating bag fitted with star tip. Pipe
    rosettes in center of cake. Cover and refrigerate.
    Notes: Cookies are easily crushed in food processor, or by placing in
    zip-lock plastic bag and smashing with a rolling pin or meat mallet (just
    think about that idiot that cut you off in traffic). Any cake mix
    can be used (or if you’re a glutton for punishment-your favorite
    from-scratch recipe). You can also use walnuts instead of pecans.
    If this is going to be made ahead and held, I use Cool Whip instead of
    the whipped cream topping-the taste isn’t as yummy, but it’s more stable.
    A variation is to use a chocolate cake mix instead of yellow, and walnuts
    instead of pecans.
