How to make buttermilk for cakes

Many cake recipes calls for buttermilk. The buttermilk makes the cake or whatever you are baking, more moist. I love recipes which calls for buttermilk and prefer trying them out. 
You can make buttermilk from curd too but for bakes this method is preferred. It is simple, easy and accurate and takes about 10 minutes to make.

    1. You should not strain, just whisk and use it to your bakes. One cup milk will give you one cup butter milk. I don't understand what you mean to say with paneer?

  3. I made my own buttermilk for the first time the other day and I was so pleased. I've always bought it, used 1 cup and then ended up throwing out the rest. This way I won't have any wastage. Thanks for sharing. :)

  5. Red velvet cake needs buttermilk, vinegar and non-dutched cacao powder. So should I add vinegar to red velvet cake batter if I use this type of buttermilk? Does the sourness get increased due to addition of extra vinegar.

    1. Check the amount of vinegar your recipe calls for and adjust with this amount. Don't add extra vinegar.
