Tips:

Use high-quality ingredients, especially the butter and pecans. This will make a big difference in the overall flavor of the cake.
Make sure the butter is at room temperature before creaming it with the sugar. This will help to create a smooth and creamy batter.
Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough.
Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking can dry out the cake.
Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
