Buttermilk cake with fruits: A timeless treat perfect for any season

Buttermilk cake with fruits is a baked good that always turns out well and tastes exquisite. Its delicate, fluffy texture pairs perfectly with juicy fruits. It’s a year-round dessert because you can swap out the fruits depending on the season. Raspberries, strawberries, currants, blueberries, and apples or plums will work well. This cake never gets boring.

Buttermilk cake is perfect for everyday treats or special occasions. There’s a reason our grandmothers used to bake it, delighting the whole family.

The addition of buttermilk makes the cake fluffy and soft. Furthermore, it doesn’t dry out quickly and stays fresh longer. However, it’s so tasty that it won't last long.
