- For the Glaze:

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking pan.

- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- Fold in the toasted chopped pecans.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- For the glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Add more milk if needed to reach desired consistency.
- Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake.
Notes
- Toast pecans in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant.
- Ensure your buttermilk is at room temperature for best results.
