I love this! There's nothing like an old fashioned yellow buttermilk cake recipe! Nothing brings out the moistness in a cake like that buttermilk does.
Great post.. has my ^5 !

Great tasty cake thanks high5


I agree with pinkpasta! Love that buttermilk, and it is the perfect ingredient for an old fashioned yellow cake. My mother also made one with chocolate icing. Something about that chocolate icing on a yellow cake!! :)


Love a good moist cake, this one sounds just that, bookmarking to make, and giving you a high 5 also. Thanks for sharing, have a Blessed weekend.


Lokks so very wonderful!
