Birthday season has arrived at the Doughmamma household, so let the festivities begin. Over the next 8 weeks, 6 family members including myself, have birthdays to celebrate, which means several cakes to bake and an end to this summer’s waistline.
We recently celebrated our son’s 9th birthday with this delicious, mouth-watering, buttermilk chocolate cake. Buttermilk is one of my favorite ingredients to use. Subtle in flavor, offering the slightest hint of tang to complement any sweetness, buttermilk is one of those secret ingredients that can elevate almost any dessert. At high altitudes, buttermilk also helps maintain moistness as well as supply a touch of leavening. Buttermilk’s acidity breaks down tough strands of gluten, creating a rich, tender and moist crumb in baked goods. An interesting side note, buttermilk can also prevent the blue tinge from occurring when baking with walnuts and/or cherries. Ode to Buttermilk!
