Tips:

  • Use fresh walnuts for the best flavor. If you only have access to pre-packaged walnuts, toast them in a 350°F oven for 5-7 minutes to bring out their flavor.
  • If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar to 1 cup of regular milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
  • Let the cake cool completely before glazing it. This will help the glaze set properly.
  • If you don't have a wire rack, you can cool the cake on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Store the cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
