FAQ:

Can I make this cake ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the cake layers and filling a day ahead. Just assemble and refrigerate before serving.

Can I use regular milk instead of buttermilk?
If you don’t have buttermilk, you can substitute it with regular milk plus 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar. Let it sit for a few minutes to sour.
