For an extra layer of caramel flavor, drizzle caramel sauce over each cake layer before frosting. Toasted pecans can enhance the nutty flavor of the cake. Toast them in a dry skillet over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, or until fragrant. Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for optimal mixing and a smoother batter. For a more intense spice flavor, consider adding a pinch of ground cardamom or ginger to the dry ingredients.
