Old-Fashioned Coffee Cake

By: Rita Reifenstein

"'I have many buttermilk recipes, and this one brings back the flavor of old fashioned homemade doughnuts,' says Rita Reifenstein of Evans City, Pennsylvania. Spiced with nutmeg, slices of the tasty cake are even more tempting served with a dollop of whipped cream."
