Please Help For A Cake Dissaster Emergency

[ukanonymous]

Hey peepsies I am trying to make a chocolate and it says to use buttermilk. It says a substitute is milk and some white vinegar... well we have semi milk and some kind of rice vinegar that looks like a white but slightly yellow. We must have had it a year but never used it.
I forgot to buy a lemon from the super market and now curfew is upon us boohoo
Will this do or is it destined for not working?

try it and see
KI end up eating most of my disasters

[ukanonymous]

Thanks Peter but it is for a friend's baby tomorrow. I would hate to do it tonight and then again 1st thing in the morning in a rush. So if anyone can give me a probably yes or no I will formulate my bakery plan.

[ukanonymous]

Or we also have a lime to put with milk but I am guessing that is a no no

[bednobs]

get a recipe that doesnt need buttermilk

[ukanonymous]

Bednobs do you think it would do though? The other recipees don't look as nice you see and we bought all the ingredients for this. Sans a lemon ofcourse hehe

[barry1010]

No, rice vinegar is not a substitute for white vinegar

[ukanonymous]

Ok thanks Barry you saved me a lot if time hehe.

Shouldn’t think your friend’s baby will mind what sort of cake it is. Just make one that you’ve got the ingredients for.

[bednobs]

a baby wont have the discernment to tell the difference between chocolate cake recipes!
"and we bought all the ingredients for this" errrrr why the need for this q then :)

[DTCwordfan]

can you make a ganache...if so, this one doesn't need buttermilk.....

Gold old Martha - they probably hid the fretsaw blades inside the cake when she was locked away.

[bednobs]

all you need is eggs flour sugar butter and either cocoa or melted chocolate
