Spiced Pecan Chocolate Cake

This recipe is amazing. With a little help from my dad I was able to make this yummy cake in about a half hour and it is sooo good. You have to try it! And although the cinnamon in it makes it kind of a fall/wintry kind of cake, I don't think anyone will really mind if you made it at any time of the year.

I got the recipe for this from Cooks Country and modified it a little bit. Hope you like it!

Ingredients:

1 cup flour

2 tsp vanilla

3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon salt

4 large eggs, separated

1 cup packed light brown sugar

8 ounces of bittersweet chocolate, chopped

6 tablespoons of unsalted butter, cut into three pieces

1 1/2 cups pecan halves, plus about 30 halves for the decorating

For the glaze:

8 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped

3/4 cup heavy cream

2 tablespoon corn syrup

And a pinch of salt

What I did:

I did not put the pecans on the top of the cake or the sides. But if you like pecans you can top the cake with them.

Also if you don't have heavy cream you can use half and half. I did not in the 1/3 spiced rum. But you can if you want!

And the result!!!!!
