Steps:
- 1. Sift sugar and flour together. In a sauce pan, mix the butter, cocoa and water bringing to a rapid boil. Pour over flour and sugar mixture and stir until well mixed. Add buttermilk, eggs, baking soda cinnamon and vanilla. Mix well and pour into a greased pan that's at least 1/4" and bake at 400* in preheated oven for 20 minutes.
- 2. Begin making about 5 minutes before the cake is done.
- 3. Melt butter, cocoa and buttermilk together and bring to a rapid boil. Remove from heat and add 1 box of powdered sugar, vanilla and pecans. Beat well with spoon and spread on the cake while it's hot.
Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate: The quality of the chocolate you use will have a big impact on the flavor of the cake, so it's worth splurging on a good brand. Dark chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70% is ideal.
- Make sure the butter and eggs are at room temperature: This will help them to emulsify properly and create a smooth batter.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can make the cake tough, so just mix until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the cake in a preheated oven: This will help to ensure that the cake bakes evenly.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
- If you don't have a piping bag, you can use a zip-top bag with the corner snipped off to decorate the cake: Just fill the bag with frosting and pipe it onto the cake in any desired design.
