Ingredients:
3/4 cup chopped pecans, toasted
1 (12-ounce) package semisweet chocolate chips
1 package devil's food cake mix
1 (3.9-ounce) package instant chocolate pudding
1 cup sour cream
4 eggs
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup brewed coffee
1 teaspoon vanilla
Ingredients for the glaze:
4 tablespoons ( 1/2 stick) butter
1/4 cup milk
1 1/2 tablespoons cocoa
2 cups confectioners' sugar
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour a tube pan. Coat pecans and chocolate chips with 1 tablespoon of cake mix and set aside. With an electric mixer, combine cake mix, pudding mix, sour cream, eggs, oil, coffee and vanilla. Beat at medium speed for 3 minutes. Fold in reserved chocolate chips and nuts. Turn into pan and bake for 50 to 60 minutes or until a tester comes out with just a few crumbs clinging. Cool for 15 minutes and turn onto a rack. Cool completely before glazing. Using a long skewer, poke cake all over to allow glaze to penetrate.
The Glaze:
In a saucepan over low heat, cook butter, milk, cocoa and confectioners' sugar just until sugar dissolves. Do not allow to thicken. Cool slightly and pour over cake.
