Step 2
Combine flour, cocoa, salt, baking powder and baking soda in medium bowl. Beat 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter and sugar in large mixer bowl until creamy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Gradually beat in flour mixture alternately with buttermilk. Fold in 1/4 cup pecans. Pour into prepared pan.
Step 3
Bake for 20 minutes. Top with 1/4 cup morsels and remaining pecans; continue baking for 30 to 35 minutes or until wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pan on wire rack for 10 minutes; remove to wire rack to cool completely.
