Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Glaze:
Prepare Glaze: In a bowl, whisk together 2 cups of powdered sugar, 1/4 cup of buttermilk, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla until smooth.
Add Pecans: Fold in 1 cup of chopped pecans into the glaze mixture.
Glaze the Cake: Once the cake has cooled completely, drizzle the glaze over the top, allowing it to drip down the sides.
Optional Garnish: Sprinkle additional chopped pecans on top of the glaze for added texture and decoration.
