Instructions

  1. Spoon batter evenly into 3 greased and floured 9-inch square pans. Bake at 350 ° for 25 to 30 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pans on wire rack 10 minutes. Remove from pans, and let cool completely on wire rack.

  2. Spread Bourbon Buttercream Frosting between layers and on top and sides of cake, sprinkling 1/4 cup pecans on top of frosting for each of the layers. Press remaining 2 cups pecans into sides of cake. Sprinkle chopped semisweet chocolate bar over top of cake.

Why this Chocolate-Bourbon-Pecan Cake works for PCOS

Desserts on a PCOS plan are not banned, but timing and pairing matter. Eating sweet foods immediately after a balanced meal (rather than on an empty stomach) blunts the blood sugar response, since protein and fat slow gastric emptying. This Chocolate-Bourbon-Pecan Cake works best as an occasional post-dinner option rather than a standalone snack.
