I am so very glad that I found this recipe. This cake was very moist and delicious. My family really enjoyed it and they all wanted the recipe. I will continue to use this recipe over and over again.

This is the same recipe for a bakery called "Big Mama's" that was shown one the Foodnetwork. I was so happy to be able to get the recipe online because it sure looked good. The chef gave all the ingredients with the exception of the flour and buttermilk. This cake is very moist and rich and has somewhat of a Southern quality to it. This is going to become one of my regulars to sell now. I'll add some vanilla flavoring to my caramel sauce and make another small tweak to make it my own. It definitely worth sharing and making for others to enjoy.

This cake came out great! Very moist, not very dense, and the glaze was the perfect amount of sweet

Great Cake! I have made this for years. One thing I do different is I add 1oz of rum to the batter and a small drizzle of rum into the sauce to give it a little kick try it is is really gooooooooooooood!
