The is is perfect! I’ve recently started making my own butter, which leaves me with left over buttermilk! Now I have a good use for it besides pancakes!!
Hi Cherie. This is awesome of you to make your own butter, something I have never done and have no clue how to do it. Hope you will like this buttermilk cake. Please do let me know what you think of it. Enjoy
This looks delicious, Esme. I think for Johannesburg, I’d have to reduce the baking powder to 2 tspns.
Hi Robbie – Glad to see and hear from you. The person that submitted this recipe is from Port Shepstone. Hopefully that will help you decide but it will be interesting to hear how it turned out for you using only 2 tspns. Enjoy
