Categories     dessert

Time 45m

Yield 24 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 large eggs
2 sticks butter
4 heaping tablespoons cocoa powder
1 3/4 sticks butter
4 heaping tablespoons cocoa powder
6 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 pound powdered sugar
1/2 cup finely chopped pecans, optional

Steps:

  • For the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar and salt. Stir together and set aside.
  • In another bowl, mix the buttermilk, baking soda, vanilla and eggs. Mix with a fork and set aside.
  • In a medium saucepan, melt the butter and add the cocoa. Whisk together to combine. Meanwhile, bring 1 cup water to a boil. When the butter is melted, pour the boiling water in the pan. Allow to bubble for a moment, then turn off the heat. Pour the chocolate mixture into the flour mixture. Stir together for a moment to cool the chocolate, then pour in the egg mixture. Stir together until smooth, then pour into an ungreased jelly roll pan (or rimmed baking sheet) and bake for 20 minutes.
  • While the cake is baking, make the icing: Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the cocoa powder and stir until smooth. Add the milk, vanilla and powdered sugar. Stir together. Dump in the pecans and stir until well combined.
  • Immediately after removing the cake from the oven, pour the warm icing over the top. You'll want to avoid doing much spreading, so try to distribute it evenly as you pour.

Provided by oaklandish

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h15m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 (15 ounce) can Hersheys Chocolate Syrup
1 cup all-purpose flour (Plus more for dusting...)
1 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup butter
4 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325.
  • Cream butter and sugar in a medium bowl with a portable mixer or a stand mixer.
  • Add eggs one at a time till incorporated.
  • Add syrup and vanilla.
  • Turn off mixer and stir in the flour and baking powder by hand (it's less messy this way -- )
  • Pour batter into a lightly greased and floured 9 inch springform pan and bake for one hour and 15 minutes.
  • Let cool and release cake from pan. Enjoy!
  • Note: I always go for less time (one hour) for an extra-moist cake, but it's still good if you go for the full hour and 15. This can also be made in 2 8in. cake pans if you want a layer cake, but definitely decrease the baking time.
