This is the first thing I made in my new countertop oven, convection
oven, toaster, rotisserie, blah dee blah.

This recipe was posted here a few days ago. While I was making it I
questioned "where's the vanilla" or some kind of essence. I resisted
the urge to tinker with the recipe and add something. It doesn't need
it, it is delicious as is.

I measured, sifted, added, mixed and poured.

I miss read the recipe and only mixed up half the almonds for the
topping the recipe called for. It turned out great anyway.
Please note the immaculately clean oven, for the first and last time.

Stan mentioned that adding some blueberries would be nice also. I
think some peaches would be good too.

It's a DeLonghi countertop that is a convection as well as a
conventional oven. It also toasts and has a rotisserie. I didn't
realize until I got it home that it also has a defrost cycle.

Allow me: It was posted by Billy, who didn't provide a source, but said

I bet it would be good with peaches or pineapple. Or if you poked holes in
the top and poured some caramelized condensed milk over it to soak in. Or
both. But most coffee cakes are deliberately on the dry side, since they're
supposed to be accompanying coffee. I guess adding the other items would
make it more of a dessert.

Questions:

1. Most butter-pecan dishes have a somewhat ramped-up amount of salt,
since the added salt brings out the butter-pecan flavor more fully. Do you
think a little more salt would have done that here?

2. Do you think the pecans might have benefited by being toasted or cooked
in the butter before going on top of the cake batter?

(I've kind of got pecans on my mind since I opened a big bag of them this
morning to make Wayne's "Special Day" waffles -- which were a big hit, by
the way. Thanks, Wayne!)

Surprisingly it isn't dry at all. The caramelized condensed milk
sounds like a great idea but sparingly. I was thinking as I was
plating it that some kind of sauce, rum or fruit drizzled over it for
presentation would be nice.

I didn't add the salt to the recipe and I mis read the topping
quantities and only used 1/4 cup of pecans.

When I do it again I'll toast the pecans.

I used almonds, I don't have any pecans on hand. Dang, I try and be
careful to note any substitutions, thanks for catching it.
I don't see where other nuts wouldn't work.

It never occured to me that Mr. Bill might be you! This is the third
