  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients:

  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1/2 cup hot water or brewed coffee (for richer flavor)

  5. Bake: Pour batter into prepared pan(s) and bake for 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  6. Cool: Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes
