Also buttermilk pie which is in a class by itself, and quite decadent.

Love it with stale cornbread crumbled up in it - eaten with a spoon.

In deciding on a cake recipe, the first thing I look for is buttermilk. The second thing is separating the eggs and whipping up the whites to fold into the batter. These two things really add to the end result. Some of the best cake recipes which use these two things : German Chocolate, Italian Cream and Red Velvet.
