Description

Ingredients

• 8 ounces butter, chopped (2 sticks)
• 1 cup water
• 4 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
• 2 cups sugar
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 2 eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 6 Tbsp milk
• 3 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
• 4 ounces butter, chopped (1 stick)
• 3 3/4 cup powdered sugar
• 3/4 cup pecan bits

Directions

• Preheat oven to 350 F
• Spray a medium skillet (I used a 10 inch) with nonstick spray.
• In a medium saucepan, heat the water, cocoa, and butter over medium heat. Bring to a boil and then remove from the heat.
• Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt. Stir to combine.
• In a separate small bowl, lightly whisk the eggs. Whisk in the sour cream and vanilla and combine fully. Pour egg mixture over flour mixture and use a wooden spoon to stir until fully combined.
• Pour chocolate mixture over flour batter and use a whisk or hand mixer to fully combine until fully smooth.
• Pour mixture into skillet.
• Bake for 30-35 minutes or until almost cooked through. The cake should no longer jiggle in the middle but a toothpick inserted in the middle may still have a bit of chocolate on it. If you prefer your cake fully cooked, cook until the toothpick comes out completely clean, about 35-40 minutes. (NOTE: This also depends on the size of your skillet. If you use a larger skillet, cook times will be less. Its great to check this recipe half-way through to monitor its doneness)
• After removing the cake from the oven, prepare your frosting.
• In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the milk, cocoa, and butter. Bring to a boil.
• Remove from the heat and add the powdered sugar. Use a hand mixer to beat the icing until fully smooth.
• Stir in the pecan bits with a spoon.
• Pour the icing over the warm cake and allow to cool another 10 minutes.
• Serve garnished with ice cream and share with all of your friends! The more the merrier.
