I had some trouble finding pecan pieces at my local grocery store. I ended up using chopped walnuts instead, and they worked just fine.

This cake was a bit too dry for my taste. I think I might try adding some extra liquid next time.

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

This cake is a bit too sweet for my taste, but it's still a good recipe. I might try reducing the amount of sugar next time.
