For a richer flavor, use dark German chocolate.
Toast the nuts for a deeper flavor.
The frosting can also be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator until ready to use. Gently reheat before spreading.
If you don't have buttermilk, you can make a substitute by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar to a liquid measuring cup, then filling with milk to equal 1 cup. Let stand for 5 minutes before using.
To prevent sticking, you can line the bottom of the cake pan with parchment paper.
