Would it make a difference if i substituted and put 2% milk instead of Buttermilk in a cake recipe?

Answer 1

Yes it will make a huge difference.

Here is a substitution you can use.

Buttermilk 1 cup:
1 cup yogurt OR 1 tablespoon lemon juice or vinegar plus enough milk to make 1 cup.

Answer 2

Buttermilk is much different in consistency. It is thicker than 2 per cent milk. If you have no buttermilk you can substitute 1 tablespoon vinegar or lemon juice plus enough milk to equal 1 cup. Just stir together and let stand for 5 minutes. You can also substitute non flavored yogurt.

Answer 3

Buttermilk is actually lower in fat than 2% milk. It is the milk left over from making butter from full-cream milk. You can replace buttermilk with sour milk. Add one tablespoon lemon juice per cup of 2% milk. You won't notice a difference in the cake.

Answer 4

Yep...don't use the 2% I have used yogurt as a substitute in the past...I would run out to the store and pick up the Buttermilk!...happy baking!

Answer 5

yes! 2% milk is called sweet milk. There is a big flavor difference! You can add vinegar to make it similar to buttermilk

Answer 6

oh gosh yeah. 2 totally different items. BUT YOU CAN USE (for 1 cup buttermilk)
1 c plain yogurt
OR
1 tablespoon vinegar OR lemon juice- then enough milk to make 1 cup (let stand 5-10 minutes)

Answer 7

Buttermilk is thicker than 2%. It will make the batter runny.

Answer 8

Yes, it will not have the same texture. You can use 2% but add a teaspoon of lemon juice and let it sit for an hour before using it.

Answer 9

yes, tremendous difference, it adds a unique flavor as well as moisture to a recipe, take the time and get the real thing

Answer 10

it's like eating your cereal with water intead of milk.
if you don't have buttermilk forget it dont make anything
