February 4th was Paris Loves Pastry's 10th blogoversary!
So I had this amazing, extravagant cake planned for my 10th blogoversary that I had been planning for months. Unfortunately my
So I really couldn't bake the amazing-extravagant cake I was planning to because, I have to be with my dog every minute in case he needs to pee-pee or poo-poo, and can't go grocery shopping when I'm at home with him. There was a second cake I had in mind because baking a buttermilk cake so reminds me of my early years of blogging when I baked Nigella Lawson's Birthday Buttermilk Cake almost weekly. It is one of the most visited posts I've written for Paris Loves Pastry. Which surprises me because it's such a simple cake.
I guess you don't need much more than that. I think most people would prefer to eat a home-made delicious buttermilk cake, than a over-the-top colourful cake. I would anyway. So I tried a new buttermilk cake recipe that had good reviews. Eating it, it immediately reminded me of a Southern buttermilk cake - which is such a comforting taste.

- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
