Fair enough, but how many other cake recipes call specifically for vinegar or anything containing it? I'm genuinely asking as a mystified person who doesn't bake ๐Ÿ˜„

Gonna have to see if I can even get those here in Denmark heh. I know they're pretty much ubiquitous in the US, but I don't think I've ever seen one here for some reason ๐Ÿคท

I believe buttermilk is used more commonly than straight vinegar as it's acidic. Buttermilk pancakes are fairly common if not standard in the States. You'll also find it used in breads and biscuits (the kind of biscuit that's akin to a savory scone.)

FWIW, Ime the primary difference buttermilk makes compared to normal milk is that the bread will hold together better. It's less crumbly and more towards chewy. I don't notice any flavor difference.

It's interesting that acid(I assume) does that, I'm curious about the chemistry behind that now.
