BUTTERMILK DATE CAKE
My mother used to call this inch cake since it is so rich, you could only eat a inch at a time! Moist, rich, luscious! Perfect to take to a casual affair since it is left in the dish it is cooked in. I have never had anybody say they didn't love it. This recipe came from the Austin, TX Junior League Cookbook. Enjoy!
