For the sour milk: Add 1 tablespoon of white vinegar or lemon juice to a liquid measuring cup, then fill with milk to the 1-cup line. Let stand for 5 minutes before using. For a richer flavor, use Dutch-processed cocoa powder. A simple dusting of powdered sugar or a light glaze complements this cake beautifully.
