This is my absolute, all-time favorite cake. I could eat the entire pan. And I really, really mean that!

But I always lose the recipe. Thanks for posting this -- I'm adding it to my word file now.

Bumping...

I made this again today for my mom's birthday. Turns out great every single time.

To sour buttermilk... put 1 tbsp vinegar in a measuring cup and then fill it with regular milk to the 1Cup line. Let stand 5 minutes.
