If you like buttermilk cakes but do not usually buy or drink buttermilk try buttermilk powder. You can store a carton of buttermilk power for over a year in your refrigerator. Buttermilk powder is available at many supermarkets in the baking section along with flour, sugar and other ingredients.

Pound cake is one of the easiest and most versatile cake recipes. This buttermilk pound cake recipe is moist and flavorful. You can eat it plain, glazed, with ice cream, or with fresh or macerated strawberries.

Substitutions

Substitute regular milk or buttermilk powder for buttermilk. For best results use buttermilk or buttermilk powder. Leftover buttermilk can be frozen for later use. Buttermilk powder has a shelf life of several years and is more economical than buttermilk for occasional use.
