For best results, use room temperature eggs and sour cream. To toast the pecans, spread them on a baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 5-7 minutes, or until fragrant and lightly browned. Alternatively, toast them in a dry skillet over medium heat, stirring frequently, until fragrant. The cake is even better the next day, after the flavors have had a chance to meld. Feel free to substitute walnuts or other nuts for the pecans. If you don't have sour cream, you can use plain Greek yogurt as a substitute.

Feb 5, 2024The frosting is so rich and creamy. I like to add a pinch of salt to balance the sweetness.
