Ingredients
- 2 eggs
- 1 nbsp
- 400 gr sugar
- 375 gr powdered sugar
- 350 gr butter
- 250 gr flour
- 240 ml water
- 140 gr pecans
- 120 ml buttermilk
- 75 ml evaporated milk
- 40 gr cocoa
- 8 gr vanilla extract
- 5 gr baking soda
- 3 gr cinnamon
- 1 gr salt
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Sift flour and sugar, set aside. In a saucepan, bring the margarine, cocoa and water to a boil; remove from heat. In a large bowl, mix all remaining cake ingredients. Add the flour mixture and cocoa mixture, stirring well. Bake in a greased and floured 9x13 pan for 20 to 30 minutes. Check for doneness with a clean toothpick.
Ten minutes into the baking of the cake, prepare the frosting. Place the margarine, cocoa, and milk in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Remove from the heat and add the remaining ingredients. Beat until smooth.
FROST THE CAKE AS SOON AS IT COME OUT OF THE OVEN. Let it cool a little before cutting, if you can't possibly hold out! This cake is so good, you'd eat it with one foot in the fire if you had to.
