Re question about black walnut extract or black walnut flavoring (such as LorAnn's):

first time I ever made it, honestly I left it out entirely, and added two teaspoons of vanilla flavoring. Just because I didn’t have the b/w extract on hand. Since then I ordered some. Black walnuts alone give them plenty of flavor! But again, if you don’t have the b/w extract, (Amazon has it) just use vanilla flavoring. Use flavoring, if you can’t find extract. Hope that helps! By the way, this is my favorite recipe for Black Walnut cake...it’s absolutely delicious!!! first time I ever made it, honestly I left it out entirely, and added two teaspoons of vanilla flavoring.
