How to Make Chocolate Pecan Pie Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease the sides only of a 10x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, combine 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ¾ cup sugar, and ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder. Add ½ cup (1 stick) melted unsalted butter and 2 large eggs. Mix until just combined.
  3. Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 20 minutes.
  4. While the first layer bakes, prepare the pecan pie filling: In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk, 2 large eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, ½ cup light corn syrup, and ½ cup chopped pecans.
  5. Once the first layer is baked, remove from oven and let cool slightly (about 10 minutes).
  6. Pour the pecan pie filling evenly over the cooled chocolate layer.
  7. Reduce oven temperature to 325°F (165°C). Bake for 45 minutes, or until the filling is set around the edges and the center is almost set.
  8. If the center is still jiggly after 45 minutes, turn off the oven and let the cake sit in the oven with the door slightly ajar for 15 minutes.
  9. Remove from oven and let cool completely on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy!
