recipe : pomegranate & buttermilk last minute cake


So I wasn't sure if I wanted to call this last minute cake or comfort cake. I think all comfort food has buttermilk in it, it kind of gives food that whole home feeling. Lets just say, I made this in the evening and the next morning the container was empty. My brother had eaten 70% of the cake. I thought, well maybe, last minute would be a better choice because the cake was literally made in less than an hour. I mixed everything in less than 15 minutes and it was done baking in less than 20 minutes!

Also, I wanted to try baking with pomegranate. I liked the texture and the little bits of tartness from the seeds, but I would suggest strawberries, raspberries or blueberries. Those will do the trick if you're looking for more fruity flavor.

By the way, not sure if you read my post from last night or read my pretty aggressive tweets, but I have a new interactive recipe index! You can click on the link or find it under the weekly features on the right.

  13. It is ideal for tea time!! I didn't think so either, I am going to try out berries though. I'm more for a fruit-dessert lover. My brother who is the contrary loved it.
