CakeBaker (Massachusetts) says:

Could you substitute the buttermilk for regular milk or will that alter the taste?

Cooks.com replies:

Hi Cakebaker,

The acidity of the buttermilk and vinegar react with the baking soda to help the cake become light (as baking powder would) so it's needed in this recipe.

Hope this helps,
