Preparation

Step 1

1

Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Add corn syrup, brown sugar, and 2 1/2 tablespoons cocoa powder. Bring mixture to a boil, stirring constantly. Boil for 1 minute. Remove from heat. Pour into a greased 9-inch cake pan. Sprinkle with pecans; set aside.

2

Roll dough on a lightly floured surface into a 14-x-10-inch rectangle. Brush dough with 1 tablespoon melted butter.

3

In a small bowl, combine sugar, 3/4 teaspoon cocoa powder, and cinnamon; sprinkle over melted butter.

4

Roll up, jellyroll fashion, starting at a long edge; cut into 1-inch thick slices.

5

Arrange slices over chocolate sauce in prepared pan. Cover and let rise in a warm place (85 degrees), free from drafts, for 45 minutes, or until doubled in size. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

6

Bake for 25 minutes. Remove from oven and immediately invert onto a serving platter.
