For a richer flavor, consider using brown sugar in place of white sugar for the cake batter. To enhance the nutty flavor, toast the pecans lightly before adding them to the batter. If you don't have buttermilk, you can make a substitute by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar to a cup of milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using. Ensure the icing is hot when you pour it over the cake for the best glaze.
