Mississippi Mud Cake

"For this recipe, I took that Mississippi Mud concept, but flipped it on its head. We went with a traditional layered cake instead of a pie, and the result is this Mississippi Mud Cake. It’s delicious. Like dangerously delicious. And it includes a ridiculous amount of chocolate. As with many recipes, there are hundreds if not thousands of versions of Mississippi Mud Pie. Variations include adding pecans, marshmallows, pudding, cookies and even bourbon. For this Mississippi Mud Cake, I used pecans and pudding. There are chopped pecans in the frosting itself, and then I used whole pecans to garnish the top of the cake. There are multiple ways to go with the pudding here. I opted to use the pudding mix in the frosting, but I could see making the pudding and then using that as a filling in between the layers. No matter how you make it, this cake is a delicious dessert for all of the chocolate lovers in your family!"
