Tips:
- Make sure to use unsalted butter and bring it to room temperature before creaming it with the sugar. This will help ensure a smooth, fluffy batter.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake.
- Be careful not to overcook the cake. A toothpick inserted into the center of the cake should come out clean or with just a few moist crumbs attached.
- Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting it. This will help prevent the frosting from melting.
- If you don't have pecans on hand, you can substitute walnuts or another type of nut.
- For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet chocolate chips.
- If you want to make the cake ahead of time, bake it according to the recipe and then wrap it tightly in plastic wrap. Store the cake in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to 2 months.
