For an extra nutty flavor, try browning the butter before adding it to the dough. A touch of vanilla extract can enhance the overall taste. Ensure your butter is softened but not melted for the best texture. Scoring the top of the cake not only looks pretty but also helps it bake evenly. Serve with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat.
