Buttermilk Pound Cake

 Jo Anne Maarten says:
Wanted to use up some left over buttermilk. This was delicious and, after sharing it with my daughters neighbors, I might have some adopted adults.
I had to use greek yogurt instead of sour cream and I used vanilla in place of lemon extract because I poured a dark chocolate ganache with coffee flavoring over it, but otherwise, followed it to the "T". Dense with a nice texture and a beautiful crust, the buttermilk and sour cream lend it such a rich flavor. I did try adding chocolate chips but they fell to the bottom. However, my daughter thought I did this on purpose and it added a nice compliment to the glaze. I have added it to my recipe file and will make it again. Yum!
