Hello I have a recipe i am altering and was wondering if I can use buttermilk instead of milk. I also have sour cream, vegetable oil and baking powder as a leavening agent. Would using buttermilk affect anything other than the taste ?

Is it a must to use baking soda and not baking powder ?

It has been my experience that recipes that use buttermilk include at least a portion of the leavening as baking soda.  Sometimes the recipe includes both baking powder and baking soda and sometimes just baking soda.
