Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
It is suggested to use a tube pan, however I just use a bundt pan and it works great. I also have modified the recipe by deleting a few steps such as not sifting flour 3 times and not alternating the flour/buttermilk step. This recipe is definitely a trial by error one, but when the cake comes out good - it is really, really, really good!!!
