For an extra layer of flavor, toast the pecans lightly before adding them to the batter. Substitute walnuts or almonds for the pecans, if desired. If you don't have rum on hand, you can use brandy or bourbon as a substitute. To make this cake even more decadent, drizzle it with a chocolate ganache or a rum glaze after it has cooled completely. Store leftover cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
