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.
Note: We did bake this in a sheet cake pan. If you don't have one, use a 9x13 pan. You'll just need to adjust the baking time. Our cake baked in 20 minutes.
