Number Of Ingredients 18

0.5 cups butter
1 cups brown sugar
14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
1 cups pecans
2 cups flour
0.75 cups unsweetened cocoa
2 cups granulated sugar
1.5 teaspoons baking powder
1.5 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoons salt
2 units eggs
1 cups sour cream
0.5 cups canola oil
1 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 teaspoons white vinegar
0.5 cups fudge topping
0.5 cups chocolate chips
1 units chocolate icing

Steps:

  • 1. Make the cake: Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Butter the bottoms of two 9-inch round cake pans and fit a circle of parchment paper large enough to cover 1 inch up the side of each cake pan.
  • Heat the butter, brown sugar and sweetened condensed milk in a 2-quart saucepan over medium heat until the butter melts and the sugar is dissolved. Do not boil. Divide the sugar mixture between the prepared pans. Sprinkle 3/4 cup pecans over sugar mixture and set aside to cool.
  • Combine the flour, cocoa, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt together in a large bowl. Add the eggs, sour cream, oil, vanilla, vinegar and 1 cup hot water and mix with a wooden spoon until the batter is smooth. Pour the batter into the cake pans - over the sugar mixture.
  • Bake until a wooden skewer inserted into the cake center comes out clean - 35 to 40 minutes. Cool cakes in the pans for 10 minutes. Run a knife around the edge of the pans and turn cakes out onto a cooling rack. Remove the paper and cool completely.
  • 2. Assemble the cake: Spread the fudge topping over the sugar mixture side of one cake layer. Place the second layer over the first and drizzle with the melted chocolate and the remaining 1/4 cup pecans. Frost the cake sides with your favorite chocolate icing.
