For an extra touch of flavor, toast the pecans before chopping and adding them to the topping. If you don't have buttermilk, you can substitute it with 1 cup of milk mixed with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using. Feel free to substitute the pecans with other nuts like walnuts or almonds. This cake is best served warm or at room temperature.
