Prep Time: Cook Time: Total Time:
Cake
1 cup butter
1/4 cup cocoa
1 cup water
1/2 cup buttermilk
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups sugar
2 cups flour
1/2 tsp salt
Chocolate Ganache
2 cups (12oz) semisweet chocolate morsels
1/3 cup whipping cream
1/4 cup butter, cut into pieces
Praline Frosting
1/4 cup butter
1 cup packed light brown sugar
1/3 cup whipping cream
1 cup powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup chopped pecans, toasted
Garnish: chopped pecans
Cook first 3 ingredients in a saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly, until butter melts and mixture is smooth; remove from heat. Cool.
Beat buttermilk, 2 eggs, baking soda, and vanilla until smooth; add butter mixture to buttermilk mixture, beating until blended. Combine sugar, flour, and salt; gradually add to buttermilk mixture, beating until blended. (Batter will be thin).
Coat 3 8in round cake pans with cooking spray; line with wax paper. Pour batter evenly into pans; Bake at 350 for 22 to 24 minutes or until set. Cool pans on wire racks for 10 minutes; remove from pans and cool layers completely.
Ganache: Melt chocolate morsels, whipping cream and butter in double boiler until smooth and creamy. Spread about 1/2 cup ganache between cake layers; spread remainder on sides of cake. Chill cake for 1/2 hour.
.
Praline Frosting: DO NOT PREPARE THIS UNTIL READY TO FROST CAKE BECAUSE IT WILL HARDEN VERY QUICKLY. Bring first 3 ingredients to a boil in a 2 quart saucepan over medium heat; stirring often; boil for one minute. Remove from heat, and whisk in powdered sugar and vanilla until smooth. Add toasted pecans, stirring gently 2 to 5 minutes or until frosting begins to cool and thicken slightly. Pour immediately slowly over center of cake, spreading to edges, allowing some frosting to run over sides. Can garnish with extra pecans if desired.
