For best results, ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before beginning. Freshly grated nutmeg will provide the most aromatic and flavorful experience. 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. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using. To prevent the cake from sticking, you can also line the baking pan with parchment paper in addition to greasing it. Cake can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week.

Feb 8, 2025I found the baking time to be a little shorter in my oven, so keep an eye on it after 30 minutes.
