Ingredients

Chocolate Cake

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 stick butter
  • 1/4 cup shortening (70 grams)
  • 4 Tbsp. Cocoa (30 grams)
  • 1 cup water or brewed coffee
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • 2 whole eggs slightly beaten
  • 1 tsp. baking soda
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp. ground cinnamon

Frosting:

  • 1 stick butter
  • 4 Tbsp. cocoa
  • 6 Tbsp. milk
  • 16 oz. powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 2 cups chopped pecans

Instructions

For Cake:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Prepare 9×13 cake pan by greasing it well.
  • Mix the flour and sugar together in a large bowl. Melt together butter, shortening, cocoa, and water/coffee. Once melted, pour over flour mixture and stir until combined. Add buttermilk, eggs, baking soda, cinnamon, and vanilla.
  • Pour mixture into prepared cake pan and bake for 30 minutes. 5 minutes before cake is done, start preparing the frosting.

For Chocolate Fudge Frosting:

  • Start making the frosting 5 minutes before cake is done. Melt together the butter, cocoa, and milk. Bring to a boil and remove from heat.
  • Add the powdered sugar, vanilla, and pecans. Stir until combined. Pour dollops of frosting over warm cake while still in pan and spread evenly. If frosting has begun to harden prior to pouring on cake, you can add a splash of milk to it to loosen it back up. Enjoy!
