For an extra layer of flavor, consider browning the butter before creaming it with the sugars. This will add a nutty depth to the cake. If you don't have buttermilk on hand, you can easily make a substitute by adding 1 tablespoon of white vinegar or lemon juice to a liquid measuring cup and then filling it with milk to reach 2/3 cup. Let it stand for 5 minutes before using. Feel free to experiment with other nuts or dried fruits in place of the walnuts. Pecans, almonds, or raisins would all be delicious additions. To ensure the cakes release easily from the pans, you can line the bottoms with parchment paper rounds in addition to greasing and flouring them.
