Ingredients

*Spoon & Sweep method: Use a spoon to fill measuring cup with flour until required amount is obtained. Scooping measuring cup directly into flour bag will firmly pack flour resulting in too much flour required for recipe.

Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray two 9-inch cake pans with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.
Sift flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt into medium bowl. Using electric or stand mixer, beat butter until smooth. Add sugar and beat until well blended, about 2 minutes. Add eggs 1 at a time, beating well after each. Add vanilla. Mix to combine.
Add flour mixture in 3 portions alternating with buttermilk in 2 portions, beating just until blended after each addition. Gradually add coffee and bourbon, beat until smooth.
Divide batter equally between pans. Tap each pan to remove any air bubbles. Bake cakes until toothpick inserted into center comes out clean, about 30-35 minutes. Cool cake in pans on rack for 10-15 minutes.
Invert cakes.
To assemble: Place first cake onto serving platter. Frost top of cake with German chocolate icing and sprinkle chopped pecans on top.
Place second cake on top of first cake. Ice complete cake with chocolate icing.
Garnish with whole pecans and drizzle top with whiskey caramel sauce.
