I've made this cake several times, and my family really enjoys it. I've used both buttermilk, and buttermilk substitute, and it tastes exactly the same, so don't worry if you don't have any buttermilk on hand, just use the milk and vinegar. Yummy icing!

This is my most prized cake recipe. I have been making it for several years and EVERYONE who eats this cake LOVES it. My family gets excited each time I make it. It's perfect for an adult birthday cake too. The frosting is the best part (like toffee) and the cake is always moist, with just the right amount of flavor. This cake is even better warmed up the next day. By the way, it's 1 tsp baking soda.

I loved the flavor of this cake, but I had a problem with the cake falling and not cooking all the way--even after 55 minutes in the oven. I'm trying it again, though, just to see if I get different results. I noticed that the card I clipped from the magazine calls for just 1 teaspoon of baking soda but this online recipe calls for 1/2 teaspoon baking soda and 1 teaspoon baking powder. I'll try it according to this online version! Hoping for better results!

Really a lovely flavor on this one. It is moister the second day. Th icing is almost like a light fudge. My daughter entered this into our county fair and won a ribbon this year.
