The crumb was quite surprising. We soaked up the last of our cereal milk yesterday with a slice. It was perfect.<br /><br />Elisabelle - I think everyone needs a simple cake in their life. :)<br /><br />Kath - I might test the maple syrup idea tonight or tomorrow morning...<br /><br />rachel - You still have the ultimate plain cake on your blog, as far as I'm concerned. That will always be in my recipe box. :)<br /><br />Elizabeth - I think Roberto feels the same as Ned. I think you could eat this cake without worry of throwing off your goals. I've heard buttermilk speeds up the metabolism. ;)Tracy (Amuse-bouche for Two)http://amusebouchefortwo.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-143171148754639501.post-44319714531080732332010-02-01T10:15:04.108-05:002010-02-01T10:15:04.108-05:00I hate book jackets too!
