Notes
For a dairy-free option, consider replacing butter with coconut oil.
Greek yogurt can substitute for sour cream if needed.
Feel free to add raisins instead of nuts or skip the nuts altogether if allergies are a concern.
If you prefer a lighter cake, you can use whole wheat flour or reduce butter by using applesauce.
Serve slices warm with a dollop of whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for a special treat!
