Let the cake cool completely on a wire rack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Step 4: Prepare the Frosting<\/strong><br>In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and butter until smooth and creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar until the frosting reaches your desired consistency. Mix in the vanilla and salt until fully combined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Step 5: Frost and Garnish<\/strong><br>Once the cake is completely cooled, spread the frosting evenly over the top. Sprinkle with additional chopped pecans for garnish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Step 6: Serve<\/strong><br>Slice into squares and serve at room temperature. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>This Hummingbird Sheet Cake is a perfect blend of sweet, creamy, and nutty flavors.
