For a richer flavor, consider using brown butter instead of regular softened butter. If you don't have butternut extract, a combination of vanilla, butter, and almond extract can provide a similar flavor profile. Be careful not to overbake the cake, as it can become dry. Check for doneness with a toothpick. A dusting of powdered sugar or a simple glaze can add a touch of elegance to the finished cake.
