Auntie's Buttermilk Cake image

I got this recipe, as well as so many others, from my favorite aunt. She loved to bake--she used to say it was her "therapy," and I feel the same way!

This cake was a bit of a disappointment. The buttermilk flavor was too strong for my taste, and the crumb was a bit too dense. I would not recommend this cake to anyone who is looking for a light and fluffy cake.

This cake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still very good. The buttermilk flavor was nice, and the crumb was very moist. I would recommend reducing the sugar by about 1/4 cup if you prefer a less sweet cake.
