For an even richer flavor, try using brown butter instead of regular butter. Simply melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat, swirling occasionally, until it turns a nutty brown color and emits a fragrant aroma. Let it cool slightly before dotting over the cake. Feel free to experiment with other nuts, such as walnuts or almonds, in place of the pecans. A drizzle of caramel sauce or a dusting of powdered sugar adds an elegant finishing touch.
