Recipe View 10 mins Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely. (10 minutes)

For an extra tender crumb, ensure your butter and eggs are at room temperature.
Don't overmix the batter; this develops the gluten in the flour and can result in a tougher cake.
A bundt pan can be substituted for a tube pan, but be sure to grease and flour it very thoroughly to prevent sticking.
Feel free to experiment with other extracts, such as almond or orange, for a different flavor profile.
If you don't have buttermilk, you can make a substitute by adding 1 tablespoon of white vinegar or lemon juice to a liquid measuring cup and filling it with milk to the 1-cup line. Let it stand for 5 minutes before using.

    The cake was a little dry, I think I overbaked it. Next time, I'll check it a bit earlier.
