Maple yogurt frosting gives spice cake a cool, tangy finish, while toasted pecans add a crisp contrast that holds up if you manage moisture and chill time well. The key is simple: balance maple, sugar, and Greek yogurt so the frosting stays spreadable, then add the pecans close to serving for the best texture.
