When combining the flour into the wet ingredients, be sure to fold, not mix. Folding helps keep the structure of the cake. When you mix, you’ll be aerating the batter, which you don’t want to do.
DON’T OVERMIX
Speaking of aerating the batter, don’t overmix, or fold, in this case, when combining your ingredients. When the batter is overmixed, it causes the cake to rise too high and then fall, resulting in a cake that is not a fluffy as it should be and have a bit of a tougher texture. So fold in the ingredients until they’re just mixed.
VARIATIONS
Unlike many of my recipes – both sweet and savory – I don’t recommend changing much of anything about this cake. It’s absolutely delicious exactly as it is, and it’s such a classic. The only thing I might recommend is toasting your pecans to give the cake a bit more depth of flavor, but that’s all.
