Notes

  • To make DIY buttermilk, remove 1 tablespoon of milk and replace with 1 tablespoon lemon juice or white vinegar. Whisk and set aside to thicken for a few minutes. 
  • I line just the bottom of my cake pans with parchment. Fold the parchment into fourths, then into a triangle. Measure from the middle of the cake pan to the outside of the cake pan with the folded parchment, with the point of the triangle in the middle. trim to fit.
