I have used this recipe for many years. It’s extremely easy and tastes wonderful. It will fill a 9×13 pan and 1 – 6 inch round pan. It’s great with or without frosting and is great for making sculptured cakes.

to make buttermilk use 1 cup of whole milk with 1 to 2 tsp of lemon juice let it sit for about 10 mins and it will make buttermilk
