Frequently Asked Questions

Can I substitute buttermilk in this recipe?

Yes, you can substitute buttermilk with a mixture of regular milk and vinegar or lemon juice. For every cup of buttermilk needed, use 1 cup of milk and add 1 tablespoon of white vinegar or lemon juice. Let it sit for about 5 minutes before using.

How should I store the leftover cake?

Store the leftover cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. If you want to keep it longer, you can refrigerate it for up to a week, or freeze it for up to 3 months. Just make sure to wrap it tightly in plastic wrap before freezing.

What if my cake doesn’t rise properly?

If your cake doesn't rise, it could be due to expired baking powder or baking soda, so check those dates. Additionally, make sure you didn't overmix the batter after adding the wet ingredients, as this can lead to a dense cake. Finally, ensure your oven is properly preheated before baking.
