Pecan pie, apples crisp with pecan streusel, sugared pecans and a lot more came out of my oven lately. This wonderful chocolate cake with pecan is also one of the desserts I made recently.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">This gluten free chocolate cake with pecans can become your true star for Passover traditional feast.
