“So happy I came across your recipe. This was the perfect cake to make with my toddlers (1 & 3) for their Dad's birthday tomorrow. Love that the cake was easy ingredients, one bowl, and didn't require a mixer. We had so much fun making it together and I lov” — a cook, 5.0★
“Commenting again because I forgot to add that my caked baked fine and wasn't dry at all. I also didn't have buttermilk and used whole milk instead and it still came out great. Unsure how people are ending up with dry cakes or cakes that don't bake all the way.” — a cook, 5.0★
