For an enhanced flavor, try adding 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts or pecans to the batter. A cream cheese frosting truly complements the cake's unique flavors. Consider adding a hint of lemon zest to the frosting for brightness. This cake also freezes well! Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and aluminum foil for longer storage.
