I'm not a big fan of pralines, but I loved the glaze on this cake. It was the perfect balance of sweet and nutty.

The glaze was a bit too runny for my taste. I think I'll try making it again with less milk next time.

I didn't have any pecans on hand, so I used walnuts instead. The cake still turned out great!
