Tips:
- Make sure your pumpkin puree is smooth. If it's too lumpy, it will make your cake dense and uneven.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make your cake tough.
- Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If the toothpick comes out with batter or crumbs attached, the cake is not done baking.
- Allow the cake to cool completely before glazing it. This will help the glaze set properly.
- For a richer glaze, use heavy cream instead of milk.
- If you don't have any pecans on hand, you can use walnuts or almonds instead.
- Store the cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also freeze the cake for up to 2 months.
