Instructions

  1. Pre-heat oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit, and set baking pan aside (jelly roll pan or 9x13)

Chocolate Cake

  1. In a large mixing bowl whisk together flour, sugar, and baking soda together and set aside.
  2. In a medium saucepan, add butter, oil, cocoa and water and bring to a boil. Remove from heat and pour over flour mixture. Stir until blended.
  3. Add buttermilk, eggs, and vanilla. Mix well and pour into ungreased pan. Bake for about 20 minutes or until set.

Dulce de Leche Frosting

  1. Using a mixer, combine butter and Dulce de Leche together. Add powdered sugar 1/2 cup at a time. Add vanilla. Add milk until desired consistency. Fold in the pecans and pour over warm cake.

Chocolate Frosting

  1. Melt 1/2 cup of butter in a small saucepan. Stir in 1/4 cup of cocoa powder and 6 tablespoons of milk. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly. Whisk in powdered sugar until smooth.
  2. Pour the frosting over the warm cake and spread evenly with a spatula.
  3. Sprinkle 1 cup of chopped pecans on top of the chocolate frosting.

Notes

  • I have used different sized pans for this cake 15 X11, 9 X 13, and a jelly roll pan. The cooking time and thickness of the cake will vary slightly.
  • If you like the flavor of cinnamon, add 1 teaspoon to the batter.
