For an extra touch of flavor, try adding a pinch of nutmeg or cardamom to the dry ingredients. Buttermilk is key to the cake's soft texture. If you don't have buttermilk, you can make a substitute by adding 1 tablespoon of white vinegar or lemon juice to a cup of milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes. Do not overmix the dough, as this will result in tougher cakes. The cakes are best enjoyed fresh, but they can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
