Amish Cake

---

I love brown sugar cakes and this is one of the best. From amish cooking by pathway publishers. Please note that buttermilk or sour milk can be used. Sour milk is made by adding 1 tablespoon lemon juice or vinegar in the bottom of a measuring cup then fill the rest of the way with milk. Set aside to sour for 5 minutes.
