I didn't have any pecans on hand, so I used walnuts instead. They worked just as well.

I had trouble getting the cake to rise properly. I think I may have overmixed the batter.

I'm not a big fan of caramel, but I really enjoyed this cake. The frosting was not too sweet and the cake itself was very moist.
