For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a tablespoon of rum or coconut extract to the frosting. Toasting the pecans enhances their nutty flavor and adds a pleasant crunch to the frosting. Toast them in a dry skillet over medium heat until fragrant and lightly browned. Ensure the cake is completely cool before frosting to prevent the frosting from melting. If you don't have pecans on hand, walnuts or macadamia nuts would also be delicious in the frosting.
