Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour the pan or use parchment paper.\u00a0 In a large bowl, combine self-rising flour and granulated sugar. Set aside.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>5. Remove from heat and use a wire whisk to gradually mix in powdered sugar, a 1\/2 cup at a time.<\/p>\n<p>6. Spread or pour the warm frosting over the cake. While the cake is still warm, sprinkle with chopped pecans, and chocolate chips. Drizzle with caramel sauce.<\/p>\n<p><!-- WP QUADS Content Ad Plugin v. 2.0.68.1 --><\/p>\n<div id=\"quads-ad2241\" class=\"quads-location quads-ad2241 \" style=\"float: none; text-align: center; padding: 0px 0 0px 0;\">\n<div class=\"quads-ad-label quads-ad-label-new\">Advertisement<\/div>\n<p><!-- WP QUADS - Quick AdSense Reloaded v.2.0.68.1 Content AdSense async --><\/p>\n<p><script><br \/>\n                 <\/script><br \/><!-- end WP QUADS --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"swp-content-locator\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Advertisement Ingredients 2 cups granulated sugar 2 cups self-rising flour 1 cup butter 1 cup strong black coffee 1\/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder 2 eggs 1\/2 cup buttermilk chocolate frosting: 1\/4 cup butter 4 tablespoons buttermilk 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa 2 1\/2 cups powdered sugar turtle topping: 1\/2 cup chopped pecans 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/weeknightrecipes.com\/texas-turtle-sheet-cake\/\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3905,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[20],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/weeknightrecipes.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1825"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/weeknightrecipes.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/weeknightrecipes.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/weeknightrecipes.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/weeknightrecipes.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1825"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/weeknightrecipes.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1825\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3154,"href":"https:\/\/weeknightrecipes.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1825\/revisions\/3154"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/weeknightrecipes.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3905"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/weeknightrecipes.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1825"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/weeknightrecipes.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1825"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/weeknightrecipes.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1825"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
