To prevent the cake from sticking, line the bottom of the cake pans with parchment paper rounds.
If you don't have buttermilk, you can make a substitute by adding 1 tablespoon of white vinegar or lemon juice to a liquid measuring cup and then filling with milk to the 1/4 cup line. Let it stand for 5 minutes before using.
This cake is best stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
