Tips:

  • To make a lighter cake, use half the amount of butter and replace the other half with unsweetened applesauce.
  • If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of regular milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
  • For a richer cake, use heavy cream instead of milk.
  • To make a gluten-free cake, use gluten-free flour instead of all-purpose flour.
  • To make a vegan cake, use vegan butter and milk instead of regular butter and milk.
  • For a fun twist, try adding 1/2 cup of fresh raspberries to the batter.
  • To make the cake more lemony, add 1 tablespoon of lemon zest to the batter.
