Made with the rich flavor of buttermilk, this homemade sugarcakes recipe is one you'll adore and pass along to future generations. Buttermilk lends a little tang to baked goods that cuts the flavor of sugars and sugary ingredients so that the sweetness level is just right. Whip up these Sugarcakes in just 20 minutes, then top with vanilla frosting and your favorite sprinkles.
For another simple yet stunning treat, try these Sugar Cookie Cups — they are sugar cookie cups filled with whipped chocolate mousse.
