Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 3/4 cups sugar
1/2 cup baking cocoa
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 egg
2/3 cup vegetable oil
1 cup buttermilk
1 cup strong brewed coffee
FROSTING:
5 tablespoons butter
1 cup sugar
1/3 cup milk
1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips, melted and cooled
1/2 cup caramel ice cream topping
1 cup chopped pecans, toasted
Directions
In a large bowl, combine the first five ingredients. In another bowl, whisk egg, oil and buttermilk. Add to the dry ingredients and stir well. Slowly add the coffee until combined (batter will be thin).
Pour into a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking pan. Bake at 350 degrees F for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool completely on a wire rack.
For Frosting, melt butter in a small saucepan. Add the sugar and milk; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cook and stir for 2-3 minutes. Remove from the heat. Add the melted chips and stir until blended. Pour over cake, spreading evenly. Drizzle with caramel topping and sprinkle with pecans.
