Notes

  • Use full-fat buttermilk for the fluffiest texture
  • For dairy-free, swap buttermilk with almond or oat milk + 1 tbsp vinegar
  • Avoid overmixing to keep the cake light and airy
  • Substitute flax eggs for an egg-free version
  • Try adding blueberries or nuts for extra flavor and texture
