For a richer, nuttier flavor, toast the pecans lightly before chopping and adding them to the pan.
Be sure to use cake flour for the best texture. It has a lower protein content than all-purpose flour, resulting in a more tender cake.
Do not overmix the batter, as this can develop the gluten in the flour and result in a tough cake.
Cooling the cake completely before glazing is essential to prevent the glaze from melting and running off.

    The glaze is the perfect finishing touch. It's not too sweet and adds a nice citrusy flavor.

    I substituted some of the flour with ground pecans, as suggested, and it was even better! So nutty and delicious.
