  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
  6. Alternately add the dry ingredients and the buttermilk to the butter mixture, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined.
  7. Fold in the melted chocolate, chocolate syrup, vanilla extract, and chopped pecans until evenly distributed.
  8. Spoon the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  9. Bake for 60 to 75 minutes, or until a wooden toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
