Glazed Buttermilk Donut Cake Recipe
Glazed Buttermilk Donut Cake Recipe – This oversized “donut” is sure to be a hit. Although this dessert looks straight from the donut shop, the recipe itself is a moist and tender pound cake with added leavening, which gives the cake the cracked and craggy appearance of an old-fashioned donut. This delicious dessert idea is perfect for a bored-baking marathon.
