For best results, use high-quality black walnuts. Their distinctive flavor is key to this cake's unique appeal. Be careful not to overmix the batter, as this can result in a tough cake. Mix until just combined after adding the dry ingredients. To ensure the cake releases easily from the pan, grease and flour the pan thoroughly. Alternatively, you can use a baking spray with flour. If the top of the cake starts to brown too quickly during baking, tent it loosely with aluminum foil. Allow the cake to cool completely before slicing for neater slices. This cake freezes well. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and then foil before freezing. Thaw completely before serving.
