Hi Sushma
firstly thanks for trying my vanilla cake recipe..
The sugar and butter needs to be really creamy and fluffy.
You can use homemade buttermilk..
Over mixing of the cake batter would also not result in a good cake..
So after beating the buttermilk well with sugar and butter, slowly add the flour and mix then add the soda water and bake immediately.
Once the soda water actsimmediatelyit starts reacting , so place in it the oven immediately..
Check for the correct oven temperature and also position the rack in the center..
Hope it help...In case you have any other doubts do let me, will be happy to assist you..
the cake came out soft. when buttermilk was whisked it looked a bit curdled........does the buttermilk mixture have to creamed or gently combined...........do guide
tried ur recipe...the cake came out soft but not spongy....... any give a time limit how long to cream the butter and sugar.......and how long to whisk the butermilk mixture... bear with me i am a novice baker...thanks

Sorry for the delayed respose.. I am just back to blogging after a long break..
You got to really beat your butter, sugar mixture well , nice and fluffy, and after adding buttermilk also you need to whisk it really well.. The more the fluffy whisking you do the cake is soft..
Hope this helps..
@ Smita
Will post the icing recipe soon..
Hi, Sumathi
I want to try the recipe out as I need to bake eggless for my son's b/day on the 17th. Do u think I can bake this into cupcake holders?
Many thanks

@Tania
Thanks for wanting to try my cake and advance birthday wishes to your son.
Being your son's B'day and serving for kids a richer cake would be better . I would prefer you making the Eggless yellow cake or Simple white cake which comes out good as cupcakes too.
With regard to this buttermilk cake you can make it as cupcakes too..
Hope this helps you and in case you need something too , let me know.
