I am thinking about using "sour milk" (1 cup milk and 1 tbsp vinegar) in place of buttermilk in my red velvet cake. My question is, my recipe calls for vinegar too, in the recipe. So do I add the vinegar in the milk plus the vinegar that the recipe calls for? Or just use the vinegar in the milk only? I hope I dont sound to confusing... icon_razz.gif

I'm not much of a scratch baker but I think the vinegar in the recipe is used for the chemical reaction with the dry ingredients so you should be ok to use it both ways. But for me I would use buttermilk. icon_smile.gif

I actually use the vinegar in the milk and then the "other" vinegar as well and have had no problems.
