For best results, grease and flour the inside of the coffee cans thoroughly before filling with batter. Alternatively, line the cans with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal. You can substitute other nuts for the walnuts, such as pecans or almonds. For a richer flavor, use melted butter instead of shortening. Ensure your baking soda is fresh for optimal rising.
