Tips:
- For a richer flavor, use dark brown sugar instead of light brown sugar.
- Toasted pecans add a nice nutty flavor to the cake. To toast pecans, spread them on a baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 5-7 minutes, or until fragrant.
- If you don't have a Bundt pan, you can use a 9x13 inch baking pan. Just be sure to adjust the baking time accordingly.
- Let the cake cool completely before inverting it onto a serving plate. This will help prevent the cake from breaking.
- Serve the cake with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of ice cream.
