Posted by Mike McCarey


buttermilk cake recipe

Ingredients:
  • 1 cup (240 ml) butter (two sticks)
  • 2 cups (400 gm) sugar
  • 3 whole eggs
  • 2 1/2 cups (325 gm) cake flour
  • 1 teaspoon (5 gms) baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon (5 gms) baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon (3 gms) salt
  • 1 1/2 cups (355 ml) buttermilk
  • 1 teaspoon (5 ml) vanilla

Directions:

Cream butter, sugar and eggs. Sift flour, soda, baking powder and salt. Add flour mixture to the creamed mixture with buttermilk, starting and ending with flour. Beat until creamy.
Pour into cake pans and bake at 350°F (177°C) until golden brown and cake springs back to the touch.
Cool in pans 10-15 minutes before removing from pans.
When cake is completely cool, wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate until use.

High Altitude Adjustments
  • Increase flour to 3 cups, decrease baking soda to 1/2 tsp, and decrease baking powder to 1/2 tsp.
  • Bake cake at 325°F for 25-30 minutes.
  • This recipe makes 2-8 inch round cakes.


I hope you enjoy this recipe and will visit Craftsy.com to learn more about all their free recipes and classes.

Have you ever wished there was an easy way to learn a new crafting skill? Every time I go into my local craft supply store I see the sign-up sheets for at least one or two classes I'd love to take but the timing never seems to work out. Now, thanks to my new sponsor Craftsy, I can take a class anytime I want to!
