Notes

  • Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days to maintain its delicious texture.
  • Gently reheat individual slices in the microwave for about 30 seconds to revive the gooey caramel.
  • Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful contrast of temperatures and flavors.
  • For a richer flavor, lightly toast the pecans or walnuts before adding them to the cake.
