Dark Cherry Buttermilk Cake

Quick post for you today, because I am dreaming of this cake!

Remember my FABULOUS trip to California for Dole Summit 2014?

Well, they made this absolutely amazing Dark Cherry Buttermilk cake that was CRAZY GOOD.

Not too sweet, just sweet enough to curb my ridiculous cake sweet tooth!

    I made this cake for a dinner party last Saturday. Put it in the oven just as we finished dinner, waited 25 minutes and presto, desert. It was super delicious. Simple and very very tasty served warm with a little vanilla Hagen Daz.
    Thanks Leslie!
