Tips:

For a richer flavor, use brown sugar instead of granulated sugar.
If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of regular milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
To make sure the cake is cooked through, insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the cake is done.
Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help the frosting set properly.
If you don't have a bundt pan, you can also bake the cake in a 9x13 inch pan. Just be sure to adjust the baking time accordingly.
