For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of instant espresso powder to the dry ingredients. Make sure your butter and eggs are at room temperature for the best cake texture. Feel free to substitute pecans or almonds for the walnuts. A simple glaze of powdered sugar and milk can be drizzled over the cooled cake for added sweetness.
