Apple Cake with Buttermilk Sauce

I wish I could tell you this cake is a "keeper"...but in our family it never lasts long enough for me to find out! I prefer to use Cortland apples when I bake this cake, but any firm baking apple will work.

Apple Cake with Buttermilk Sauce (continued)

Directions (continued)

Pour into a greased and floured 10-in. tube pan. Bake at 325°
for 1-1/4 hours or until the cake tests done. Invert cake onto a
large plate or platter. Deeply puncture the top of the warm cake
with a skewer or pick.
In a small saucepan, bring all sauce ingredients to a boil, stirring
frequently. Immediately spoon 1-1/4 cups of sauce slowly over the
top of the cake, then pour the remainder down the sides. Cool. Serve
with whipped cream if desired. Yield: 16 servings.
