Buttermilk Pound Cake
"With mother's day around the corner, this Buttermilk Pound Cake is a guaranteed way to make your special mother feel loved. This Buttermilk Pound Cake is a moist and dense classic with a creamy caramel twist. You’ll never need another pound cake recipe after you try this caramel pound cake! If you want to bump up the caramel flavor try using Cookie Nip flavoring! Have you heard of it? It’s a salted caramel flavoring and it is seriously delicious! It makes the perfect addition to this pound cake and I use it in place of the vanilla most times that I make it. "
