Excellent cake! I halved the recipe. I used milk soured with lemon juice because I NEVER have buttermilk! I baked it in round corning casserole dish (7.5inches?) for 20 minutes then covered it tightly with foil and baked an additional 25 minutes. So a steamed cake? I guess? It came out so well! I've made this several times now and am about to make 2 more to take camping next week. Thanks for the great recipe. :)

I was one of the original members of Recipezaar that was truly a community of individuals that enjoyed each other in forums and chat rooms. I've been a member of this site since 2003. Made some tremendous friends that I still think of often. I'll continue coming here because my recipes are here and so many more that I tried over the years as a member. It's just a tad boring now and just another recipe site like all the rest. Sad.
