Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 cups granulated sugar
• 0.75 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 1 cup hot strong coffee
• 0.5 cups vegetable oil
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 pieces large eggs
• 1 cup chopped pecans
• 0.5 cups powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 0.5 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 12 pieces optional pecan halves (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13-inch baking pan.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.

Step 3

In another bowl, combine the buttermilk, hot coffee, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and eggs. Whisk until well blended.

Step 4

Gradually mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until the batter is smooth. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 5

Fold in the chopped pecans for a nutty crunch in every slice.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.

Step 7

Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 8

While the cake is baking, prepare the chocolate glaze by melting butter in a saucepan over low heat. Stir in the powdered sugar, milk, and chocolate chips until smooth and glossy. Remove the glaze from heat.

Step 9

Once the cake is done, let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Drizzle the warm chocolate glaze over the cooled cake, letting it drip down the sides.

Step 11

Optional: Decorate with pecan halves placed evenly across the top.

Step 12

Slice and serve. Enjoy your rich, fudgy Elmer Fudpucker Cake!
