For a richer flavor, consider using browned butter in the frosting. To enhance the pineapple flavor, add 1/2 teaspoon of pineapple extract to the batter. The cake can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Toast the pecans carefully to prevent burning, as they can go from toasted to burnt very quickly.
