For an enhanced flavor, toast the pecans lightly before chopping. Dates can be substituted for figs to create a delightful date cake. Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for optimal mixing and baking. When making the buttermilk icing, be sure to stir constantly to prevent scorching. If the icing becomes too thick, add a tablespoon of milk at a time until desired consistency is reached. Store leftover cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
