Very easy sheet cake. The buttermilk really adds a nice twang! This recipe came from a local community cookbook called the "Olive Chapel Community Cookbook". I believe it came out early 1970s. Posted by Mrs. Nora Mills.

I was so excited to try this recipe, but it turned out to be a disaster. The cake was dry and crumbly.
