Wait for it, wait for it…
I actually bought buttermilk. And when I buy things, I go big. I got a huge 2 liter container of it. Now it’s going to be an adventure trying to use this all with no waste. Oh baby, is this going to be fun.
And of course I got on the cherry bandwagon. Who can resist those dark red, juicy little devils. I certainly can’t.
But I’ve got some more very exciting news: Tomorrow. Camping. Here I come.
This is how I knew I was camping. Boyfriend: hey, you aren’t working from August 2nd to the 6th. Me: Um, what? What is happening then? What if this isn’t possible? Boyfriend: That’s too bad, I already bought your plane ticket, we are going camping.
We went to the same spot last year when we went camping, so I know just how gorgeous this place is. Needless to say, I am very excited. So I’m obviously not going to be posting in the next 5 days, but I will leave you guys with this awesome Cherry Mango Coffee Cake recipe.
Warning: This Cherry Mango Coffee Cake is addicting. I had this slice in the below picture, and ended up slicing myself more slices until 1/3 of the cake was gone. I’ve got no self control. But with the combination of mangoes and cherries: two of my favourite fruits ever, who could resist?

Like you, I always seem to have leftover buttermilk for some reasons. I didn't like to freeze them because I think it curds when it is thawed and feel wasteful throwing it away… Your cake looks awesome and nice to use up your buttermilk for this cake.
Btw, have fun camping…
That looks crazy good!
Wow, mangoes and cherries? I don't think I've ever combined them, and I love them. This looks terrific – really good recipe. I'm going to be curious to see what you do with all that buttermilk! You can make biscuits and pan cakes (and with the biscuit dough you can make cobbler). And you can use some of the buttermilk if you make your own blue cheese dressing. Actually, maybe it won't be so hard to get through it! Good post – thanks.
Hello Cathleen
Your coffee cake looks so delicious! I loves coffee and anything with coffee inside too! This cake must be full of aroma in taste when you put in some spices in. You can always make your own buttermilk, you know instead of buying.
