  • Use room temperature ingredients: This will help the cake batter come together smoothly and evenly.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This will create air pockets in the batter, resulting in a tender and moist cake.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition: This will help prevent the batter from curdling.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined: Overmixing can result in a tough cake.
  • Fold in the pecans and sour cream: Be gentle to avoid overmixing.
  • Bake the cake in a preheated oven: This will help prevent the cake from sinking in the middle.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting: This will help the frosting set properly.
