Its time for me to bake my famous nut cake for Christmas. Many people suggested that I use buttermilk to make the cake nice and moist. However I have never seen it in a supermarket (having said that I rarely go to supermarkets now cos I prefer to buy online, but I havent found it in an online supermarket either.
What is it and/ or where can i buy it?

You can make your own substitute;
Here is the ratio: For every 1 cup of milk, stir in 1 teaspoon cider vinegar to sour it (some recipes suggest lemon juice which is fine, but more than this amount of acid might alter the taste of the end product too much). Stir the mixture and let sit for five minutes and stir once more before adding to your recipe when the milk or liquid is called for. No change is necessary to the other ingredients or cooking time.
Note: It will curdle the milk - don't panic, it's suppose to! It doesn't matter because you will be incorporating it directly in a cake batter.
Cheers

Buttermilk is the residue left after cream has been extracted and the butter created. It is a lovely drink and is on sale in supermarkets and health food shops. I believe it was widely used in Ireland some years ago, when butter was actually churned by farmers wives. It was a favoured thirst quencher with people at haymaking.

If you cannot find buttermilk in the Dairy section of your grocery store, you can substitute.
1 cup milk and 1 tablespoon lemon juice or white vinegar.

When butter is made, Buttermilk is that what is left. You will get it in the supermarket.

You can make it with some white vingear or lemon juice and some fresh milk OR you can use some slightly expired milk (which is what I do to make buttermilk pancakes, biscuits, etc.)

1 : the liquid left after butter has been churned from milk or cream
2 : cultured milk made by the addition of suitable bacteria to sweet milk
