Drizzle the glaze evenly over the warm cake. Let the glaze set before serving. (2 minutes)
For a richer, nuttier flavor, toast the pecans lightly before chopping and adding them to the pan.
Be sure to use cake flour for the best texture. It has a lower protein content than all-purpose flour, resulting in a more tender cake.
Do not overmix the batter, as this can develop the gluten in the flour and result in a tough cake.
Cooling the cake completely before glazing is essential to prevent the glaze from melting and running off.
