Old-fashioned Buttermilk Cake Reviews

	JHCollins417 With a little tweaking to suit my personal tastes, this recipe will be amazing. I made my own cake flour so I wanna do it again to see if it comes out the same with store bought cake flour. All in all though, it's a sweet and very moist cake. I used convection bake at 325. For cupcakes, I baked them for 35 minutes. For mini cupcakes, 25 minutes. 1 years, 9 months, 2 days, 18 hours, 42 minutes ago
	fairycastle The instructions are sloppy, making one lose their confidence altogether. Vanilla is in the ingredients, but never used in the recipe. One egg is called for, but both whole and separated. Finally, it was ghastly SWEET. What used lemon if it is not at all tart? 2 years, 1 months, 1 days, 1 minutes ago
	Yacqueli Loved the filling and the cake, much better than a plain white cake with vanilla frosting. I made it for my Father's birthday tonight and he loved it. I think suggesting an icing flavor would have helped me out more. I just picked a simple white icing and I think I should have picked something like lemon. Thanks again! 2 years, 9 months, 2 days, 13 hours, 4 minutes ago
	Valyave The istructions don't mention when you should add the vanilla extract and the instructions for the lemon filling talk about salt that is not included in the ingredients list. 3 years, 8 months, 3 days, 13 hours, 42 minutes ago

	quesera This is a moist yummy yellow cake. Haven't used the filling yet, I bake it in a 9 x 13 pan and frost with chocolate frosting. 4 years, 9 months, 4 weeks, 1 days, 22 hours, 8 minutes ago
