For an extra depth of flavor, try using Mexican Coke (made with real sugar) in the recipe. Toast the pecans lightly before adding them to the frosting for enhanced nuttiness. If you don't have buttermilk, you can make a quick substitute by adding 1 1/2 teaspoons of lemon juice or white vinegar to 1/2 cup of milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
