Chocolate Pecan Cake

1 pkg (18.25 oz) devil's food cake mix
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 cup chopped pecans
3 cans (16 oz each) white frosting
1 oz semi-sweet chocolate, grated
pecan halves, optional

Preheat oven to 350 F.  Coat 2 (9-inch) round cake pans with cooking spray.  Prepare cake mix according to package directions; stir in 1/2 cup chocolate chips and  1/2 cup chopped pecans.

Divide between pans; sprinkle with remaining chips.  Bake 30 minutes or until toothpick, inserted, comes out clean.  Cool 10 minutes and remove from pans; cool completely on racks.

Combine 1 cup frosting, grated chocolate and remaining chopped pecans.  Place 1 cake layer on a serving plate; spread with frosting mixture.  Top with second layer; spread top and sides with remaining frosting and, if desired, garnish with pecans
