Buttermilk has a different acidity than whole milk. If used in a cake mix that calls for whole or 2% milk, a teaspoon of baking soda should be added to balance the acid in the buttermilk.
The cake won't come out properly. However, for every cup of buttermilk in your recipe, put 1 tablespoon of vinegar in a measuring cup, and then pour milk in the cup until you have a total of 1 cup of liquid.
It can be done, but it's not the best. The texture will be different, and the taste will be extremely off.
You can substitute buttermilk as a nice, tasty alternative. So is mayonnaise.
No, your cake will have a strange texture. You can substitute mayo or apple sauce for oil though. You could even use butter, but I am guessing you are trying to get a low fat recipe?
No
If a cake filling recipe requires lemon juice, can lime juice be used instead?
Yes. It truns out alright, but using buttermilk does make it sometimes a bit too much for flavor and too thick of a consistency. Try watering the buttermilk down, or only using 1/2 or 2/3 if you are usign it to replace another ingredient.
If you have a recipe that tells you what size cake pan it will require, take a pan this size, fill it with water, and then carefully transfer the water into the number shaped cake pan. This will show you whether the recipe is the right size for the number shaped pan.
Just by replacing all the ingredients with organic ingredients, like using organic sugar instead of normal sugar.
looking for a cake recipe using mealies but no eggs
You really don't need to change the recipe. The only thing I would suggest is baking the cake with duck eggs (if you can find them) instead of chicken eggs because they make the cake hold better. They make the cake less crumbly or unstable. Hope this helps. :)
