1886 chocolate glaze
2 cups powdered sugar (sifted)
1 stick butter
1/2 cup cocoa
1 tsp. vanilla
1/4 cup buttermilk (enough to make icing spreadable)
1 cup chopped pecans (for top)
Melt butter, cocoa, vanilla and add to powdered sugar. Whisk and add buttermilk until a smooth, pourable consistency. Release cake from pan by turning upside down on cake cardboard or serving tray. Pour fresh glaze over cake, allowing the cake to soak up the glaze. Top with chopped pecans. Cut into 2 inch squares and serve.
