Hello Ted-Paula's used a very interesting ingredient-buttermilk in her cake recipe, which is indeed very unique. can u tell me how it helps the cake batter?-Regards, Casey
Some cakes call for shortening, oil or butter. I use buttermilk for this because it has less fat than it's counterparts. It also adds a nice rich, moist texture to the cake.
