Ingredients

• 1 cup(minus 2T) butter
• 1/4 cup cocoa(dark if you can find it)
• AND 2 squares semisweet chocolate, chopped
• 1 cup water(set to boiling in microwave--CAREFULLY--for when you need it)
• 2 cups sugar
• 2 cups flour
• 1/2t salt
• 1t cinnamon
• 1t cayenne pepper
• 2t vanilla
• 1t baking soda
• 3 eggs
• 8oz sour cream
• FROSTING:
• 1 1/2 sticks butter
• 1/4 cup cocoa
• 1 semi sweet baking square, chopped
• about 1/3 cup buttermilk(more or less depending on desired consistency once you start making the frosting)
• 1/2 cup pecans, finely chopped(optional---the only time I leave these out is when I make it for someone who requests no nuts--otherwise, I don't consider it optional. Unfortunately, this cake(in the photo) was made as a request...without nuts :(
• 1t vanilla
• About 3 cups powdered sugar(again, more or less as with the buttermilk--but you'll use about 1lb of sugar)
