Toasting the walnuts enhances their flavor and adds a delightful crunch. Using room temperature ingredients ensures a smoother batter. If you don't have buttermilk, you can substitute with 2 tablespoons of lemon juice or white vinegar plus enough milk to measure 1 cup. Let stand for 5 minutes before using. For a richer flavor, consider using brown butter instead of regular softened butter. Store leftover cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
