For a richer flavor, use butter instead of margarine in the sauce. Toast the nuts lightly before chopping for enhanced flavor. If you don't have evaporated milk, you can use half-and-half or whole milk, but the sauce might be slightly thinner. Store leftover cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
