For an even richer flavor, consider toasting the pecans in the frosting before spreading it in the pan. Ensure your cream cheese is fully softened for a smooth and lump-free filling. If you prefer a less sweet cake, you can reduce the amount of confectioners' sugar in the filling. This cake is best served slightly warm or at room temperature.
