Don't let the playful name fool you, this is a seriously good chocolate cake. A boiled cocoa-and-butter mixture keeps the crumb wonderfully moist, while pecans fold richness right into the batter. The real secret is frosting it the moment it leaves the oven, so the warm cocoa icing melts down into every crevice. It's a fuss-free sheet cake that tastes like a labour of love.
