For an extra fudgy cake, add 1/2 cup of chocolate chips to the batter. If you don't have buttermilk, you can substitute it with 1/2 cup of milk mixed with 1/2 tablespoon of white vinegar or lemon juice. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using. Toast the pecans for a richer flavor. Spread them on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes, or until fragrant. Store leftover cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
