So not to have so much contrast in textures, it is an idea to ground the chopped pecans before adding them to the cream cheese mixture. It would even have a better look to have ground pecan garnish the sides of the cake as well.

This sounds decadent. Nothing better than cream cheese and pecans. Yummers and a very high 5.
