Ingredients

1 box Betty Crocker™ SuperMoist™ Devil’s Food Cake Mix
2 tbsp (30 mL) unsweetened baking cocoa
1 1/4 cups (300 mL) buttermilk
1/2 cup (125 mL) vegetable oil
3 eggs

1/2 cup (125 mL) butter
1 cup (250 mL) packed brown sugar
1/4 cup (50 mL) milk
2 cups (500 mL) icing sugar
1/2 cup (125 mL) chocolate-covered cashews
1/2 cup (125 mL) coarsely chopped cashews
1/2 cup (125 mL) coarsely chopped candied pecans

Steps

1

Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pan). Spray bottom only of 13x9-inch pan with baking spray with flour.
2

In large bowl, beat cake ingredients with electric mixer on low speed 30 seconds, then on medium speed 2 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally. Pour into pan. Bake as directed on box for 13x9-inch pan. Cool completely, about 1 hour.
3

Meanwhile, in 2-quart saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in brown sugar. Heat to boiling, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to low; boil and stir 2 minutes. Stir in milk; return to boiling. Remove from heat. Cool to lukewarm, about 30 minutes.
4

Gradually stir icing sugar into brown sugar mixture. Place saucepan of frosting in bowl of cold water; beat with spoon until smooth and spreadable. If frosting becomes too stiff, stir in additional milk, 1 teaspoon at a time, or heat over low heat, stirring constantly. Frost cake. Sprinkle evenly with cashews and pecans. Store loosely covered.
