For an extra depth of flavor, try using Dutch-processed cocoa powder. If you don't have pecans, walnuts or other nuts work well as a substitute. The cake is best stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. Dust the cooled cake with powdered sugar or cocoa powder for a simple, elegant presentation. For a richer cake, substitute the milk with buttermilk or sour cream.
