Original recipe yields 1 - 10 inch tube cake
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease just the bottom of a 10 inch tube pan.
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter, 1 cup brown sugar and white sugar until smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each. Stir in vanilla. Dissolve the coffee crystals in water, and stir into the creamed mixture until blended. Stir together the flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt; stir into the batter until just incorporated. Fold in pecans. Transfer the batter to the prepared pan.
- Bake for about 55 minutes in the preheated oven, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Cool cake in pan on a wire rack.
- In a chilled bowl, stir together the heavy cream, salt, vanilla and remaining 1/2 cup brown sugar so that the sugar is dissolved. Whip using chilled beaters until stiff. Run a knife around the outer edge of the cake in the pan, and tap it out onto a serving plate. Make sure cake is completely cool before frosting. Decorate with pecan halves if you like.

"The cake was beautiful when done, the icing is delicious, but the inside was drier than beach sand. I thought if I ever used the recipe again, I might add a bit of applesauce or something. I couldn't ..." See moreeat it like that."
