PREPARATION:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour the pan or use parchment paper. In a large bowl, combine self-rising flour and granulated sugar. Set aside.
2. In a saucepan, combine 1 cup butter, 1 cup coffee, and 1/3 cup cocoa. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Pour into the prepared dry ingredients. Using a hand-held mixer, mix on medium speed until wet and dry ingredients are thoroughly combined. Add eggs and the 1/2 cup of buttermilk. Mix on medium speed for another minute or so, until well combined.

1. Pour into baking pan, and bake for 25-30 minutes. When cake is done baking, a toothpick or fork inserted into the middle of the cake should come out clean.
2. Prepare the frosting. In a medium saucepan, combine 1/4 cup butter, 4 tablespoons buttermilk, and 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly.

1. Remove from heat and use a wire whisk to gradually mix in powdered sugar, a 1/2 cup at a time.
2. Spread or pour the warm frosting over the cake. While the cake is still warm, sprinkle with chopped pecans and chocolate chips. Drizzle with caramel sauce.

Tips for Success

• Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before starting.
• For a richer flavor, use high-quality cocoa powder and chocolate chips.
• Let the cake cool slightly before frosting to prevent the frosting from melting too much.

Additional Tips and Variations

Feel free to substitute walnuts for pecans if you prefer. For an extra kick of flavor, try adding a splash of vanilla extract to the cake batter or frosting. If you’re a fan of extra gooey caramel, increase the caramel sauce drizzle on top.

Enjoy !
