Hi Madhu,

I want to try this recipe but I don’t have any buttermilk, what can I use as a substitute? I do have homemade plain yogurt, will that work? How much do I need? Also, I wanted to add that I love your site. Thank You.

Thank you very much Sonia. You can definitely use yogurt instead of buttermilk. Just dilute 1/4 cup yogurt with 1/4 water, so that you get 1/2 cup of buttermilk.

i tried this cake twice and it turned out very well. i only skip one ingredient-applesauce because i was not able to find it in s’pore. im going to try your chocolate cake this weekend…im just going crazy on chocolates during my pregnancy time now. Your web is the most wonderful one i have ever come across and encourage me to bake!
Thanks Madhu….

Thank you very much for trying the recipe and for the generous compliments, Gayithiry. Applesauce is very easy to make too. Just peel, chop and cook the apples either in microwave oven or stove top using required amount of water and blend it to a smooth paste once it is cool enough and use it to substitute for fat/eggs. Congratulations and take care.

I’m going to bake this cake for my friends birthday.I noticed that in the ingredients list you have not mentioned about salt but in the procedure you have mentioned it.can you tell me if one needs to add salt.I have gerber’s applesauce is it good enough?Thanks.

Thanks for pointing it out Priya. 1/4 teaspoon of salt should be fine. Yes you can use Gerber’s applesauce too.

Hi Madhu, I made this Coffee Cake and tasted really good. It got a little soggy in the middle, not sure if it is coz i left the cake in the pan itself to cool for an hour or coz i added too much almond on top and that ddint allow the cake to rise. But it sill was good. Definitely a keeper !! Thanks for sharing these wonderful receipes with us.

One hour is a lot of time Rupa. I think I have mentioned in the recipe itself not to leave it in the pan for a longer duration. Leave it in the fridge for 10-15 minutes and you should be fine.
