1 cup Buttermilk
1/2 cups Salted Butter
2 cups Brown Sugar
2 whole Eggs
1 Tablespoon Vanilla Extract
2 cups All-purpose Flour
1 teaspoon Baking Soda
2 Tablespoons Cocoa Powder (I Used Dark Cocoa Powder, Hershey's Special Dark)
FOR THE ICING:
1/2 cups Salted Butter, Softened
6 Tablespoons Evaporated Milk
1 cup Brown Sugar
1 cup Chopped Pecans

1
Preheat oven to 350 F. Grease and flour a 13x9x2 baking/cake pan.
2
In a saucepan over low heat, heat the buttermilk and butter until butter melts. Transfer to a mixing bowl.
3
Add the brown sugar, eggs and vanilla, and beat together. Set aside.
4
Whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, baking soda and cocoa powder. Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Mix until just incorporated. Don't over mix.
5
Pour into a greased and floured 13x9x2 baking/cake pan. Bake at 350 F for about 20-25, until a cake tester or toothpick comes out clean from center of cake.
6
While cake is baking combine icing ingredients, except for pecans, until smooth.
7
As soon as cake is done, spread icing on top, and sprinkle with pecans. Switch oven to broil. Return cake to the bottom rack of the oven, and broil until icing bubbles (about 4-5 minutes). Watch carefully. When icing bubbles, remove from the oven, slightly cool, cut in square and serve.
