For a richer chocolate flavor, use dark cocoa powder. Toasting the pecans before adding them to the cake enhances their nutty flavor. If you don't have self-rising flour, you can make your own by combining 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour with 2 1/4 teaspoons baking powder and 3/4 teaspoon salt. For a cleaner cut, chill the cake in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before slicing.
