Method
Preparation Steps
Prepare the Cake
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
Combine the wet and dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Fold in the chopped pecans.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top.
Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Prepare the Praline Topping
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the heavy cream and powdered sugar.
Stir until the mixture comes to a boil. Remove from heat and add chocolate chips, stirring until melted and smooth.
Pour the chocolate mixture over the cooled cake and spread evenly. Allow it to set for a few minutes.
