Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine the chocolate cake mix, flour, cocoa powder, cold coffee, vegetable oil, eggs, sour cream, sugar, salt, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Grease your mini muffin pan and fill each muffin cup about two-thirds full with batter.
  4. Bake for 10-12 minutes. Test doneness by inserting a toothpick; it should come out clean.
  5. Let the bites cool for a few minutes then remove from the pan to cool completely on a wire rack.
  6. Melt the salted butter in a saucepan, then stir in cocoa powder and heavy cream; bring to a gentle boil and mix well.
  7. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla, powdered sugar, and pecans until smooth.
  8. Frost the warm Texas Sheet Cake Bites, allowing the frosting to melt slightly into the cake.
  9. Let set for a few minutes before serving.
