- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup boiling water
- 1 cup chopped pecans
- 1 cup salted caramel sauce
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two 9-inch round baking pans.
- In a large bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Add the eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients and beat on medium speed for 2 minutes.
- Stir in the boiling water until well combined.
- Gently fold in the chopped pecans.
- Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pans and bake for 30-35 minutes.
- Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
- Once cooled, layer the cakes with salted caramel sauce in between and on top, and garnish with additional pecans.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, use dark cocoa powder.
- Make sure to let the cakes cool completely before frosting to avoid melting the icing.
