For an extra layer of flavor, try toasting the walnuts or pecans before adding them to the batter. If you don't have buttermilk, you can make a substitute by adding 1 tablespoon of white vinegar or lemon juice to a measuring cup, then filling the rest of the cup with milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using. To prevent the cake from sticking, you can line the baking dish with parchment paper before greasing and flouring it. The cake can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
