Breakfast Buttermilk Cake

By: Kita · Published Jun 29, 2010 · Updated: Mar 2, 2016 · This post may contain affiliate links

Buttermilk cake is great for dessert, but it's also perfect for breakfast and brunch. Moist white cake spiced with cinnamon and topped with a sweet vanilla-buttermilk glaze. Come and get it before it disappears from the table!

I have been super busy the past few days trying to get some aprons out and finish up a new site - not to mention trying to figure out twitter for my store, facebooking for this site and all the other crap that comes along with social media. I enjoy being busy. Actually, I really don't know what to do when I have nothing to do. I get stir crazy really really quickly. There's always a project to start or something new to try in the kitchen. It's the whole 'birds are singing, suns shining, we're burning daylight' attitude.

Today I had some buttermilk I had to use up so I turned once again to trusty old google and pulled this recipe for buttermilk cake off of Myrecipes.com. Its a breakfast cake with a layer of sugar and cinnamon in the middle and God is it good. Moist isn't even the word for it. It's great. I am really glad I went with this instead of turning my nose up at the 'boxed cake mix' required in the ingredients.
