Chocolate Pecan Pastries
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. To make the base for the dessert, you need to bake a cake layer. Mix the dough ingredients – flour, cocoa, salt, and eggs beaten together with butter, sugar, and vanilla. Stir thoroughly, transfer into a baking pan, sprinkle with chocolate, and bake for 20 minutes. Brush the hot cake with a mixture of peanut and rapeseed oil, sprinkle with nuts, and return to the oven for 3 minutes. To prepare the icing, melt the butter, then add milk and cocoa. Bring to a boil and combine the mixture with powdered sugar and a pinch of salt. Whip the icing using a mixer and spread it over the nuts. Place the pan in the refrigerator for a couple of hours, then cut the dessert into portions. The ready dessert can now be served.
