We're making this today and we don't have buttermilk but we googled it and found you can make your own buttermilk using 1 cup skim milk and 1 tablespoon cream of tartar. for a more acicid or tart taste you can also use lemon juice or vinegar. We'll let you know how it turns out!

were trying this cake again today but with real buttermilk. I think the real will make it better!
