Buttermilk Bundt Cake

For Christmas, my Mom gave me the most beautiful Bundt cake pan. And I couldn't wait to use it. In the past, I have never had good luck with those beautiful Bundt cake pans. Some of my cake always seems to get left behind or simply will not come out at all.
Never the less, I was very excited to use it. So, I looked for just a simple, basic Bundt cake recipe. The one I settled on was a recipe from tasteofsouthmagazine.com .
I prepped the Bundt Cake pan with a spray and dusted it with flour. I read up on how to help you get you whole cake out of the pan before I even put the batter into the pan. I spooned the batter in to the pan and said a little prayer.
Once the cake was done baking. I let the cake cool for a full 15 minutes on a wire rack. I then turn the cake over and hoped for the best. Although, it wasn't perfect, it was the best I ever made. I guess I just need more practice. And I say "Challenge Accepted"

Can this be mixed without a paddle attachment?
Yes, It can. I have used the whisk attachment as well.
