I didn't have any pecans on hand, so I used walnuts instead. They worked just as well.

The cake turned out a bit dry. I think I should have baked it for a few minutes less.

I had some trouble getting the cake to rise properly. I think I may have overmixed the batter.

This cake is a bit too sweet for my taste, but it's still very good. I would recommend using a little less sugar next time.

I'm not a big fan of chocolate cake, but this one is an exception. It's so moist and flavorful, I can't resist it.

This cake is very rich, so a little goes a long way. I recommend serving it with a dollop of whipped cream or ice cream.
