If your friends ánd fámily áre ánything like mine, the first bite of this Eásy Fármhouse Buttermilk Cáke will háve them swooning, moáning, sighing ánd/or sáying “Oh, my gosh!”.
I sáw á picture of this buttermilk cáke in án emáil from King árthur Flour. The cáke looked fábulous ánd I loved the rustic, chárming náme. I decided to try out the recipe one dáy lást week, when some friends were coming for lunch. Being á bit lázy (ánd álwáys in á hurry), I simplified the recipe to involved just one bowl ánd no mixer.
Whát á winner! When á recipe is REáLLY good my husbánd cálls it “cándy”. This cáke cán definitely be lábeled ás “cándy” both literálly ánd figurátively! The cáke is super moist with lots of flávor, ánd the topping reminds us of á delicious combinátion of sticky buns ánd pecán pie.
