Ingredients
CAKE
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 cup warm water
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
FROSTING
- 1/2 cup salted butter
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/3 cup buttermilk
- 3 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup Chopped Pecans or walnuts
Instructions
FOR THE CAKE
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a 13x18 inch baking sheet.
- In a large mixing bowl stir together flour, sugar, cocoa, baking soda, and salt.
- Add eggs, buttermilk, warm water, oil, and vanilla. Whisk until combined and batter is smooth. This should take just a couple of minutes. Pour batter into prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack for 15 minutes before frosting.
FOR THE FROSTING
- Melt butter in a medium-sized saucepan over low heat. Whisk in cocoa powder, then pour in buttermilk. Increase heat to medium high and bring to a simmer, whisking constantly.
- Once the mixture is simmering, remove from the heat and whisk in powdered sugar and vanilla until smooth. Pour over cake to cover. Use a rubber spatula to smooth out and spread if needed. Sprinkle on chopped pecans. Let the cake and frosting cool completely before cutting and serving.
