For a richer flavor, brown the butter before creaming it with the sugar. Allow the browned butter to cool slightly before using. The browned butter adds a nutty depth to this delicious coffee cake. Using room temperature ingredients is crucial for achieving a smooth and evenly textured batter. To prevent the walnuts from sinking to the bottom, toss them with a tablespoon of flour before adding them to the mixture. This coffee cake freezes beautifully. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and then foil for up to 2 months.
