  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  6. Stir in the buttermilk.
  7. Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  8. Bake for 37 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let cool completely in the pan before frosting.
