For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a tablespoon of instant espresso powder to the batter. Chopped walnuts or pecans can be sprinkled over the whipped topping for added texture and nutty flavor. Ensure your butter and eggs are at room temperature for optimal creaming and emulsion. Don't overbake the cake! Start checking for doneness around 30 minutes.
