For an extra touch of elegance, toast the pecans before chopping to enhance their nutty flavor. Ensure the butter mixture is slightly cooled before adding it to the egg mixture to prevent the eggs from cooking. Sifting the confectioners' sugar is crucial for a smooth, lump-free frosting. If you don't have buttermilk, you can substitute it by adding 1 1/2 teaspoons of vinegar or lemon juice to 1/2 cup of regular milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.

Dec 7, 2024The cake was a little too sweet for my taste. Next time, I will reduce the amount of sugar in the frosting.
