The overall taste was delicious. A rich, fudgy not-to-sweet chocolate cake surrounded a sweet pecan pie. The whole thing was topped with a maple-chocolate glaze, which added a nice, smooth finish to this over-the-top dessert.
Here is how to do it:
1. Make (or buy) a pecan pie. I prefer to make my pies because the ingredients are all natural - most store-bought pies have all sorts of modified corn starch and hydrogenated oils in the ingredients, so it is best to just make it, I also used an 8" pie plate instead of 9", and I lined the pie plate with parchment paper to make it easier to extract the pie.
2. Prepare the batter for a Maple Flourless Chocolate Cake. You can also use maple syrup instead of maple sugar crystals, or if you don't have any maple syrup, forget it in the cake and use regular granulated sugar.
4. Bake the entire PIECAKEN for 50 minutes to 1 hour in an oven that is preheated to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. With flourless chocolate cakes, it is difficult to tell when they are cooked. But I just scrape back a little of the top see if it looks slightly spongy. If it is wet and still completely uncooked, add a few more minutes.
5. Let cool for an hour on a rack on the counter, then refrigerate until completely cooled.
6. Run a knife around the insides of the cake pan and then open and remove the sides. Flip the entire PIECAKEN upside down onto your serving plate.
7. Top with a maple-chocolate glaze (the 'ganache' recipe here) and roasted pecans, or chocolate shavings.
8. Makes 12-16 servings. Remember: this is rich so pieces do not need to be very big!
Enjoy!
