For a spicier cake, add 1 teaspoon of ground ginger to the dry ingredients. Consider adding a Cream Cheese Frosting for a richer, more decadent treat. A simple glaze also works beautifully. Toasting the walnuts before adding them to the batter enhances their flavor. Ensure your baking soda is fresh for optimal leavening. For a variation, substitute the walnuts with pecans or another favorite nut. The cake can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
