Southern Georgia Pecan Cake

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13-inch baking dish or two 8-inch round pans.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter with the granulated and brown sugars until light and fluffy.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with buttermilk. Mix until just combined.
Gently fold in the chopped pecans until evenly distributed.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan(s). Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve plain or with whipped cream, caramel sauce, or cream cheese frosting.
