For a richer flavor, consider using brown sugar instead of white sugar in the syrup. Toast the walnuts lightly before adding them to the batter to enhance their nutty flavor. If you prefer a less pronounced whiskey flavor, you can reduce the amount of whiskey in the syrup to 1/4 cup. Serve with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat.
