a lovely easy recipe, yes very runny but no problem baked up beautifully, however i didn't have any buttermilk so used cows milk with a teaspoon of vinegar to sour it. - 09 Oct 2011
I just finished icing and sampling this cake and I have to say wow! I was a little concerned about the liquid content I really had no need to what a lovely cake nice and dense great texture, I split the cake and had one layer with coffee icing one layer with cream cheese icing and top it off with melted chocolate icing. I also used plunger coffee. - 10 Jul 2011
