Grease and flour the tube pan. This can be a really temperamental cake. I usually combine the sugar and butter, then add the soda and salt and vanilla. Then mix in each egg one at a time. Then add the flour until it’s too dry to mix, then add the buttermilk and finish adding the flour. Pour into pan. Bake at 325° for 1 to 2 hours, depending on the oven. Top with berries and stuff.
