Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, buttermilk, eggs and vanilla until well combined. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.

Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Let cool completely before frosting.
Frosting
To make the frosting, cream together the butter and sugar in a medium bowl until light and fluffy. Beat in the cocoa powder, vanilla and salt until combined. Gradually add the evaporated milk, a few tablespoons at a time, until desired consistency is reached. Spread the frosting over the cooled cake. Sprinkle with pecans, if desired. Enjoy.
