Add a splash of bourbon or rum to the batter for an extra layer of warmth.
Toast the pecans before chopping to enhance their nutty flavor.
Feel free to substitute walnuts or other nuts for the pecans.
If you don't have pumpkin pie spice, you can use a combination of cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves.
Store leftover cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
