For a more intense black walnut flavor, toast the chopped walnuts lightly before adding them to the batter and as a garnish. To bake as three 8-inch layers, divide the batter evenly among the prepared pans. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Fill the layers with a mixture of cream cheese frosting and chopped black walnuts before frosting the entire cake. Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for optimal mixing and a smooth batter. Sifting the flour ensures a light and tender cake crumb.
