Instructions

• 1 Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour a jelly roll pan or line with
  parchment paper.  In a large bowl, combine self-rising flour and granulated
  sugar. Set aside.
• 2 In a saucepan, combine 1 cup butter, 1 cup coffee, and 1/3 cup cocoa. Bring to a
  boil, stirring constantly. Pour into the prepared dry ingredients. Using a
  hand-held mixer, mix on medium speed until wet and dry ingredients are
  thoroughly combined. Add eggs and the 1/2 cup of buttermilk. Mix on medium speed
  for another minute or so, until well combined.
• 3 Pour into baking pan, and bake for 25-30 minutes. When cake is done baking, a
  toothpick or fork inserted into the middle of the cake should come out clean.
• 4 Prepare the frosting. In a medium saucepan, combine 1/4 cup butter, 4
  tablespoons buttermilk, and 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder. Bring to a
  boil over medium heat, stirring constantly.
• 5 Remove from heat and use a wire whisk to gradually mix in powdered sugar, a 1/2
  cup at a time.
• 6 Spread or pour the warm frosting over the cake. While the frosting is still
  warm, sprinkle with chopped pecans, and chocolate chips. Drizzle with caramel
  sauce.
