For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a teaspoon of ground ginger or nutmeg to the batter. To toast the walnuts, spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes, or until fragrant and lightly browned. Watch them closely to prevent burning. If you don't have walnuts, you can substitute pecans or another nut of your choice. The cake can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
