Ingredients

Directions

  4. In a separate small bowl, whisk the baking soda into the sour milk (or buttermilk).
  5. Gradually add the flour and the milk mixture alternately to the creamed mixture, beginning and ending with the flour. Mix until just combined.
  6. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared cake pans.
  7. Bake for 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Cool in pans for 10 minutes, then turn out onto wire racks to cool completely before frosting or serving.
