Steps:

  • Combine the flour, pecans, brown sugar, chocolate and salt in a small bowl and mix well. Add the butter and mix thoroughly with your fingers or a fork until all of the butter has been evenly distributed and incorporated into the flour. Form into small to medium clumps with your fingers.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter an 8-inch square cake pan.
  • Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a small bowl.
  • Beat together the butter and granulated sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the eggs 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in the vanilla. Reduce the speed to low and add the flour mixture in 3 batches, alternating with the sour cream, beginning and ending with the flour, beating until just incorporated.
  • Spoon half of the cake batter (it will be very thick) into the prepared pan and smooth with an offset spatula. Sprinkle the chocolate and pecans on top. Spoon the remaining cake batter on top and smooth the top. Sprinkle on the crumb topping.
  • Bake until the cake and topping are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, about 1 hour. Let cool in the pan 20 minutes, then invert onto a plate; invert back onto a rack to cool completely.

3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup finely chopped pecans
2/3 cup light brown sugar
3 tablespoons chopped semisweet chocolate
Pinch of fine salt
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, at room temperature, plus more, for the pan
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon fine salt
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup sour cream
1 cup finely chopped semisweet chocolate
1/2 cup chopped finely pecans

RICH CHOCOLATE-BOURBON PECAN CAKE

I found this recipe in a Special Edition Southern Living Christmas Cookbook. I've tweaked it a little using dark cocoa and I added chocolate chips to the frosting for a richer cake and frosting. This cake is moist, rich in chocolate and has a very smooth flavor of bourbon. We presented this cake to a friend who visited us this...

Rich Chocolate-Bourbon Pecan Cake image

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour 2 9-inch cake pans. NOTE: My pans were 2-inches deep. The cake rose very slightly over this level. No batter spilled over in the oven but I did cut a few little crusty pieces from the rim of the cake pans. And I enjoyed the little treat as well.
  • 2. Sift flour, baking powder and salt; set aside.
  • 3. Pour boiling water over cocoa; whisk until smooth. Add milk and vanilla; whisk to combine.
  • 4. At a medium speed on electic mixer in a large bowl; beat butter until creamy. Gradually add brown sugar beat about 3 minutes until light and fluffy. Add eggs 1 at a time, beating well after each addition.
  • 5. Reduce speed on mixer to low. Add dry ingredients alternately with cocoa mixture beginning and ending with the dry ingredients.
  • 6. Pour batter evenly into prepared pans; bake for 40 to 45 minutes or until wooden pick or cake tester inserted in center comes out clean. Remove from oven and allow to cool in pans on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Remove cake from pans and cool completely on wire racks for about 1 hour. NOTE: When cooling this cake I made the mistake of flipping one layer top side down on the rack. This layer wanted to crumble a little because it stuck to the wire rack while the other layer I flipped bottom side down did perfect. Take a few seconds to flip the layers so that they are bottom side down on the wire racks.
  • 7. Next you will split the layers so that you will have 4 layers. I know of 2 ways of accomplishing this: 1. Use a Cake Slicer/Leveler to slice each layer in half horizontally. This is the method I used. OR 2. Once layers have cooled completely; wrap and freeze each layer for about 1 hour. Using a serrated knife, slice cake layers in half horizontally.
  • 8. Brush both sides of each of the 4 layers with bourbon. Place 1st layer on plate; spread pecan frosting between each of 3 layers. Do not spread on top of the 4th layer. Spread top and sides with chocolate frosting. Garnish if desired with more chopped pecans. For best flavor, allow cake to set for 24 hours at room temperature.
  • 9. FROSTING AND FILLING: You will be splitting this frosting in half. You will add pecans to one half for the filling and cocoa to the other half for the outer frosting.
  • 10. Beat butter at medium speed with an electric mixer until creamy, reduce speed to low and add 2 cups of the powdered sugar, beating until well blended. Add 1/2 cup cream and the vanilla; beat until blended.
  • 11. Gradually add remaining sugar, beating until smooth. Remove 1/2 of this mixture to another bowl. To one bowl stir in the nuts and 1 Tbsp of cream. This bowl is your filling. To the other bowl add the cocoa, the remaining 1 Tbsp cream and the melted chocolate chips; beat until well blended. This bowl is your frosting.
  • 12. NOTES: If frosting mixture seems too dry add a little more cream, if too wet; add a little more powdered sugar. I find when spreading frosting or filling that if you dip the spatula in water before spreading either the frosting or filling it will spread easier without lifting the cake crumbs.

3 c all purpose flour, sifted
2 1/4 tsp baking soda
3/4 tsp salt
1 1/2 c boiling water
1 1/4 c dark cocoa, unsweetened
3/4 c milk

3 c brown sugar, firmly packed
6 large eggs, room temperature
1/2 to 3/4 c bourbon, optional
FROSTING AND FILLING
1 c butter, room temperature
2 (16-oz) packages powdered sugar
1/2 c heavy whipping cream (may need more)
2 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 1/2 c pecans, chopped
2 Tbsp heavy whipping cream
1/2 c dark cocoa, unsweetened
1 c semi-sweet chocolate chips, melted

Bourbon Pecan Cake image

Steps:

  • For the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt in a medium bowl and set aside. Combine the bourbon, milk and vanilla in a separate bowl (it may get clumpy looking--that's ok) and set aside.
  • In a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream the butter and coconut oil until fluffy, about 1 minute. Add 1 3/4 cups of the granulated sugar and beat until fluffy, about 1 more minute. Add the egg yolks one at a time, mixing well between additions. Add the dry ingredients in four batches, alternating with the wet mixture, starting and ending with the dry. Stir in the pecans.
  • In a stand mixer with a whisk attachment and a clean bowl, whip the egg whites with the cream of tartar on medium until soft peaks form. Sprinkle in the remaining 1/4 cup granulated sugar and whip to stiff peaks, about 5 minutes total. Fold the egg whites into the batter in thirds.
  • Pour into a bundt pan and bake until a cake tester comes out clean, 55 to 60 minutes. Let cool before turning the cake out of the pan.
  • For the glaze: In a medium bowl, combine the confectioners' sugar, bourbon and 2 tablespoons water. Once the cake is cool, top it with the glaze and sprinkle with the chopped pecans.

2 2/3 cups cake flour
2 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup bourbon
1/2 cup milk
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
8 tablespoons (1 stick) butter
1/2 cup coconut oil
2 cups granulated sugar
4 eggs, separated
3/4 cup pecans, chopped and toasted
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 cup confectioners' sugar
1 tablespoon bourbon
1/4 cup pecans, chopped and toasted

CHOCOLATE PECAN BOURBON CAKE (LOW FAT!)

This is the most rich and delicious cake I have ever tasted. I think it needs something like a raspberry sauce drizzled over the top when it is served. Other fruits which go with dark chocolate might also work. Perhaps some fresh whipped cream? Depending on your tastes, I recommend something to compliment it's richness. This cake recipe was created by Alice Medrich exclusively for American Health magazine. Medrich, author of the award-winning Chocolate and the Art of Lowfat Desserts, doesn't use artificial sweetener or fake fats.

Steps:

  • Position oven rack in the bottom third of the oven and preheat oven to 375°F
  • Spray or grease the bottom and sides of an 8 x 2-1/2-in. springform pan lightly with vegetable oil spray.
  • I used a regular round cake pan and it worked fine with a little flour sprinkled on top of the oil or butter, whichever you prefer to use.
  • In a food processor or blender, pulverize pecans and flour until the mixture has the texture of fine meal.
  • Set aside.
  • Finely chop your 3 oz of chocolate.
  • In a large bowl, combine chocolate, cocoa powder, and 3/4 cup sugar.
  • Add boiling water; whisk until chocolate is melted.
  • Whisk in egg yolks and bourbon.
  • Set aside.
  • Combine egg whites with cream of tartar in a medium-size bowl.
  • Beat at medium speed until soft peaks form.
  • Gradually sprinkle in remaining sugar and beat at high speed until the mixture is stiff but not dry.
  • Whisk flour and pecans into chocolate mixture.
  • Fold 1/4 of egg whites into chocolate mixture to lighten it, then fold in remaining egg whites.
  • Scrape batter into prepared pan.
  • Bake 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs clinging to it.
  • Cool in the pan on a wire rack.
  • It will sink like a souffle, and the top crust may be broken.
  • Cake may be stored at room temperature for one day before serving.
  • To unmold and serve: Detach cake from the pan by sliding a small knife around the perimeter.
  • Release the spring; remove the pan sides.
  • Leave cake on the bottom of the pan and transfer it to a serving dish.
  • Sieve powdered sugar very lightly over the top.
  • Serve & enjoy with those you love!
