For a richer flavor, use dark cocoa powder. Toast the pecans lightly before chopping to enhance their nutty flavor. Ensure the cake is still warm when you pour the icing over it; this helps the icing to adhere and creates a beautiful glaze. To prevent the cake from sticking, you can line the baking pan with parchment paper in addition to greasing and flouring it. For a deeper chocolate flavor, add 1/2 cup of chocolate chips to the batter.
