This is a family and friends favorite. The guys at my husband's office ask for this all the time. Doubled the chocolate - double the deliciousness! I add 4 ounces of semi sweet chocolate in addition to the unsweetened cocoa. I also recommend roasting the pecan in the oven while you are mixing the cake. It brings out the flavors in the pecans.
