vanilla ring cake
I found this Bundt (or ring) cake recipe in a 'Taste Of Home' recipe cards booklet (I must tell you, this is a pretty sweet cake and has a lot of vanilla; but it is a cake, after all!). *This cake could probably just as easily be a lemon cake by substituting lemon extract for the vanilla. **To make a substitute for the buttermilk, add a tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice to a cup of milk and let it sit for about 5 or 10 minutes.

Step 3Combine the flour, baking powder and baking soda; add to the creamed mixture alternately with the buttermilk, beating well after each addition; pour into a greased and floured 10-inch fluted tube pan (I just used cooking spray).
