You can combine vanilla extract and chocolate flavour to get a unique taste.
FAQS
Can I use regular milk instead of buttermilk?
Yes, you can substitute regular milk for buttermilk. To mimic buttermilk, you can add 1/2 tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice to 1/2 cup of milk and let it sit for about 5 minutes before using.
What can I use instead of vegetable oil?
You can use melted butter, canola oil, or coconut oil as alternatives to vegetable oil in this recipe.
How do I know when the cake is done baking?
The cake is done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If there is batter on the toothpick, it needs more time to bake.
Can I add chocolate chips to the batter?
Yes, adding chocolate chips to the batter is a great idea! You can fold in about 1/2 cup of chocolate chips before pouring the batter into the cake pan.
How should I store the leftover cake?
Store the leftover cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week. You can also freeze it for longer storage.
