The use of buttermilk made it wonderfully moist. I liked the fact that it only had 1/2 cup of vegetable oil(It didn't taste oily or heavy). There was no time to try the glaze so I put together a buttercream frosting using maple syrup in place of the usual milk---yum. This cake is definitely a keeper.
