Lena, as requested... I have posted up the Chocolate Buttermilk Cake:))
Chocolate Buttermilk Cake
I have this new book, "Tea with Bea". I must say the cakes, cupcakes, tarts looked so tempting. But then, I realised that there was a huge amount of sugar used though...:-D
All the cakes look very pretty. And of course, the recipes will include those creaming methods, buttercream, icing, lemon curd, etc... Very interesting...

Maybe a Chocolate Buttermilk Cake wouldn't do any harm I guess???
Using the exact amount of ingredients(almost) as stated in the recipe, my cake came out abit hard though... I was too sure of what went wrong though. Well, I see from the book that the cake was rather soft, unlike compared to me, hard.... :-p....
I must have gone wrong somewhere.... Perhaps I will need to try out again some other days...
Maybe you will like to try it out? Let me know how it turns out for you...:-D
