Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using brown sugar instead of white sugar. You can also substitute the nuts with chocolate chips or dried fruit if you prefer. To ensure even baking, make sure the baking powder and baking soda are fresh, as they are crucial for the cake's rise. If you want a more tropical twist, add shredded coconut to the batter.
