How to make it
- Cake:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Grease and flour two 9" round cake pans. Set aside.
- Combine chocolate and butter in top of a double boiler. Bring water to a boil. Reduce heat to low and cook until chocolate melts.
- Add pecans and stir well. Remove from heat.
- Combine eggs and sugar in a large mixing bowl. Beat at high speed until thickened and pale.
- Stir in chocolate mixture.
- Combine flour,baking powder,and salt. Add to chocolate mixture alternatively with milk, beginning and ending with flour.
- Stir in vanilla. Pour batter into prepared pans.
- Bake for 45-48 minutes or until inserted toothpick comes out clean.
- Cool layers in pans for 5 minutes then turn out onto wire racks.
- Cool completely.
- Filling:
- Combine chocolate and butter in top of a double boiler. Bring water to a boil.
- Reduce heat and cook until chocolate melts.
- Gradually add powdered sugar,altenatively with milk,beginning and ending with sugar.
- Stir until smooth. Cover and chill for 30 minutes or until mixture reaches spreading consistency.
- Spread filling between layers.
- Frosting:
- Combine all ingredients in a bowl.
- Beat at high speed until stiff peaks form.
- Chill 30 minutes.
- Frost sides and top of layers.
- Refrigerate until ready to serve. Store leftovers in the refrigerator.
- Note:
- If,like me,you do not have a double boiler,simple melt chocolate and butter in a heavy bottomed saucepan over low heat. Stir constantly and watch closely. Chocolate burns easily.
