CHOCOLATE PECAN LAYER CAKE
Steps:
- For the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease 2 (9-inch) round cake pans and line them with parchment paper.
- Stir together the cocoa and boiling water until the cocoa dissolves.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. In a separate large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat 2 sticks butter and 2 cups light brown sugar until fluffy, about 2 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and beat for 1 minute more. Beat in the eggs, 1 at a time. Beat in 2 teaspoons vanilla extract. Beat in the flour mixture and the cocoa mixture in three alternating additions, beginning and ending with the flour. Scrape down the sides of the bowl after each addition.
- Divide the batter between the pans. Bake until the center of the cake bounces back when gently pressed and a tester inserted in it comes out clean, about 25 minutes. Allow the cakes to cool in their pans for 10 minutes, and then invert them onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- For the filling: Combine 1 1/4 sticks butter, 1 1/3 cups light brown sugar, and milk in a medium saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the butter is melted and the sugar is dissolved, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in 3/4 teaspoon vanilla. Prick the cooled cakes all over with a toothpick. Spread half the filling on 1 cake layer. Top with the second layer and repeat.
- For the frosting: Melt 3/4 stick butter in a small saucepan over medium heat and stir in the dark brown sugar and cream. Bring the mixture to a simmer and transfer it to a mixing bowl. Add the confectioners' sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla and beat until the frosting is a spreadable consistency. Add more cream, 1 tablespoon at a time, if the frosting is too thick. Frost the top of the cake and sprinkle with the chopped pecans. Store in an airtight container at room temperature. The cake will keep for 3 to 5 days.
DARK CHOCOLATE PECAN CAKE
Made in a single loaf pan, this doubly good chocolate cake has a nutty praline layer and two layers of fluffy whipped cream. This is the only cake my husband really likes. -Laura Draper, Garfield, Washington

CHOCOLATE PECAN CAKE
What a cake! It's a moist and soft chocolate cake with a caramelized pecan icing. Pouring the icing over the warm cake makes it irresistible. This should definitely be served warm so the gooey frosting is at optimal gooeyness. Grab a glass of milk and enjoy.

OLD SOUTHERN CHOCOLATE PECAN SHEET CAKE
I received this recipe from an old Southern cook, a copy of a copy of a typed-up sheet from long ago, annotated with her notes (which included the word oleo instead of margarine). I've never seen another chocolate cake recipe like it, which instructs the cook to heat part of the cake batter on the stove, and pour the cooked icing over a hot cake. The result is a wonderfully rich (yet surprisingly light) chocolate sheet cake topped with a cooked chocolate and pecan frosting. This cake has an incredible homemade taste, yet is foolproof! Will make you forget Duncan Hines®!

CHOCOLATE PECAN UPSIDE DOWN CAKE
A dense chocolate cake with a nutty caramel sauce. The directions say to use a 9" springform pan with a can of dried beans in the center...I figure a bundt pan would have the same result. I have not made this yet, so times are an estimate. Although using all butter for the sauce gives great flavor, the use of some margarine helps the caramel stay softer.
