Souring Milk: If you don't have soured milk on hand, you can easily make it by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar to 1 cup of milk. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until it curdles slightly. Spice Variations: Feel free to adjust the spices to your liking. A pinch of nutmeg or allspice would also be delicious. Nut Addition: Consider adding 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts or pecans for added texture and flavor. Storage: Store the cooled cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
