OLD SOUTHERN CHOCOLATE PECAN SHEET CAKE
I received this recipe from an old Southern cook, a copy of a copy of a typed-up sheet from long ago, annotated with her notes (which included the word oleo instead of margarine). I've never seen another chocolate cake recipe like it, which instructs the cook to heat part of the cake batter on the stove, and pour the cooked icing over a hot cake. The result is a wonderfully rich (yet surprisingly light) chocolate sheet cake topped with a cooked chocolate and pecan frosting. This cake has an incredible homemade taste, yet is foolproof! Will make you forget Duncan Hines®!

Steps:
- Peel the mangoes or papayas and discard the skins. The flesh should be quite soft. Put the flesh into a food mill and turn the handle to strain the pulp. Discard the seeds. There should be slightly more than one cup of pulp. Put the pulp into the container of a food processor and blend thoroughly. Set aside.
- Put the milk into a saucepan and add the vanilla. Bring to the boil and remove from heat.
- Put the yolks in a mixing bowl and add the sugar. Beat rapidly with a wire whisk or electric mixer. Beat until light and fluffy. Gradually add the hot milk, beating vigorously. Pour this mixture into a saucepan and continue beating. Cook over low to medium heat (it is best if a heat pad is used) beating constantly. Cook the sauce, stirring, until it reaches 185 degrees on a candy thermometer or until it coats a wooden spoon. It must be thickened and custardlike.
- Meanwhile, prepare a bowl of ice and set the saucepan in it.
- Stir occasionally, until cooled. Stir in the cream or creme fraiche and the mango or papaya puree. Serve with chocolate-pecan cake.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Butter the inside of a nine-inch cake pan. Place a round of parchment or waxed paper, cut to fit, in the bottom of the pan. Butter the round of paper. Add about one tablespoon of flour to the buttered pan and shake it around to coat the bottom and sides of the pan. Shake out excess.
- Combine the cream and four tablespoons of butter in a saucepan. When the mixture simmers, add all the chocolate and stir around the bottom and sides until melted. Remove from the heat and let stand.
- Break the eggs into a heat-proof earthenware or metal mixing bowl. Stir in the sugar and vanilla. Place the bowl over - not in - a basin of simmering water, beating the mixture vigorously with a wire whisk.
- After about one minute, when the eggs are warm and not overly heated, remove the bowl from the basin and beat with an electric mixer.
- Continue beating until the mixture is tripled in volume and reaches room temperature, about 7 to 10 minutes.
- Scrape about one-third of the chocolate mixture into a large mixing bowl. Add about one-third of the egg mixture and blend well with a spatula. Add the remaining egg mixture and fold it in. Fold in the remaining chocolate mixture and stir in the pecans.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Smooth over the top.
- Place the cake pan in a larger pan and pour boiling water around the cake pan. Place in the oven and bake 45 to 50 minutes or until a cake tester inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean.
- Remove the cake from the oven and let it sit in the water bath about 30 minutes. Remove the cake from the water bath and wipe off the bottom of the pan. Invert the cake onto a platter, remove the round of paper and let stand to room temperature. Serve with tropical-fruit custard sauce.

CHOCOLATE PECAN PIECAKEN - THE DOMESTIC REBEL

- Preheat oven to 350° degrees F. Liberally grease a 9" or 10" springform pan with cooking spray. For easier removal, I also like adding a round of parchment paper to the bottom of the cake pan.
- Prepare the cake batter according to box instructions. Pour half of the batter into the prepared pan. Remove any packaging from the pie and place it upside down into the cake batter in the pan. Pour the remaining cake batter over the pie.
- Bake for 60-70 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean or with moist, but not wet, crumbs. I recommend checking at the 30 minute mark to see if it is browning too quickly; if so, tent loosely with foil. Cool the cake in the pan completely.
- To make the ganache: heat up the heavy cream until warm to the touch in a small microwaveable bowl, about 40 seconds in the microwave. Pour the chocolate chips to the hot cream and let set for 5 minutes. Stir until smooth and glossy, then pour the ganache over the cake. Garnish with pecan halves.
