We do not have butter milk in Israel. I cant realy relate to the subject.

I believe sour cream can be substitute . yes? / no?
I dont realy know.

When you want a moisture cake, use oil instead of margarine or butter. Fantastic.

Sugar, too, (Oy vey) create tenderness . However, sponge cake without fat at all, is ternder due to the eggs.

Hi and back to ya,
Thanks for your suggestions making a cake that is moist. I'll give it a try. Here is a way to make your own buttermilk for baking or other uses.

Take 1 cup 8 ounces of regular milk
Add 2 tablespoons of white vinegar
Add 1 teaspoon of baking soda

Mix well and let sit until it thickens or clabbers.

The southerns here in the USA..are big users of buttermilk it comes from heavy cream, when the cream rises to the top the leftover milk is buttermilk. The cream that is skimmed off the top is made into butter. It's used in baking buscuits for breakfast and in cakes...and many other recipes. Enjoy all the posts....keep it coming!

SORRY ABOUT THE SAD FACE..IT WAS ERROR....I'M FEELING GREAT...HOPE YOU ARE TOO..HIT THE WRONG ICON...OUCH!
