I didn't have any hickory nuts, so I used walnuts instead. The cake still turned out great.

I found this cake to be a bit dry. I think I would add a little more butter or oil to the batter next time.

This cake is a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think it would be perfect with a cup of coffee or tea.
