Best Answer

Buttermilk has a different acidity than whole milk. If used in a cake mix that calls for whole or 2% milk, a teaspoon of baking soda should be added to balance the acid in the buttermilk.

The result might be slightly odd if you do - more acidic and gooey. It would be better to try and find milk instead. If you do choose to use buttermilk, water it down enough so that it reaches the consistency of milk.
