Sheet Cake That Tastes Like Brownies image

This old-fashioned cake sends you straight to chocolate heaven. It's seriously one of the best chocolate cakes we've made. The cake is tender and melts in your mouth. The fudge-like frosting is full of pecans. Adding the frosting while the cake warms means the frosting soaks into the top layer of the cake.
