For a richer flavor, toast the pecans before chopping. Ensure the Neufchatel cheese and butter are properly softened for a smooth frosting. Feel free to add raisins or shredded coconut to the batter for extra texture and flavor. If you don't have Neufchatel cheese, cream cheese can be used as a substitute.
