Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 0.75 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 cup hot strong coffee
- 0.5 cups vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 1 cup chopped pecans
- 0.5 cups powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 0.5 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 12 pieces optional pecan halves (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13-inch baking pan.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
In another bowl, combine the buttermilk, hot coffee, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and eggs. Whisk until well blended.
Gradually mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until the batter is smooth. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the chopped pecans for a nutty crunch in every slice.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.
Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
While the cake is baking, prepare the chocolate glaze by melting butter in a saucepan over low heat. Stir in the powdered sugar, milk, and chocolate chips until smooth and glossy. Remove the glaze from heat.
Once the cake is done, let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Drizzle the warm chocolate glaze over the cooled cake, letting it drip down the sides.
Optional: Decorate with pecan halves placed evenly across the top.
Slice and serve. Enjoy your rich, fudgy Elmer Fudpucker Cake!
