3 eggs
1 cup sugar
3/4 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup milk
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup cocoa
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 package (14 ounces) caramels
1/4 cup water
1 cup chopped pecans
Whipped cream and additional chopped pecans, optional
In a mixing bowl, beat eggs, sugar, oil and milk. Combine the flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt; gradually add to egg mixture and mix well. Stir in vanilla. Transfer to a greased 8-in. square baking pan. Bake at 350° for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack. In a heavy saucepan, combine caramels and water. Cook and stir over low heat until smooth. Add pecans. Cool slightly. Cut the cake into squares; drizzle with warm caramel sauce. Top with whipped cream and pecans if desired.
