Recipe
Note: For serving, gobs of whipped cream or vanilla ice
cream.
In a very large saucepan heat and stir the water, 1/2
cup Jack Daniels, coffee, butter and cocoa until butter melts.
Remove from the heat and beat in sugar.
Cool slightly, then whisk in the eggs, blending thoroughly. In a bowl stir together the flour, baking powder and salt, using a whisk to blend
completely.
Beat into the chocolate mixture until well blended.
Stir in the pecans.
Turn the batter into a greased and floured 9-inch tube pan.
Smooth the top of the batter with a spatula.
Bake the cake on the middle level of a preheated 325 degrees oven for 60 to 75 minutes until a cake tester comes out clean.
Immediately sprinkle with the 2 tablespoons of Jack Daniels.
Let cool on a rack and then remove the cake from the pan.
This cake is so rich it doesn't need any icing, but it doesn't hurt to serve it with a lot of whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
It's also good warm, right out of the pan.
