For an extra tender crumb, ensure your butter and eggs are at room temperature. Don't overmix the batter; this develops the gluten in the flour and can result in a tougher cake. A bundt pan can be substituted for a tube pan, but be sure to grease and flour it very thoroughly to prevent sticking. Feel free to experiment with other extracts, such as almond or orange, for a different flavor profile. If you don't have buttermilk, you can make a substitute by adding 1 tablespoon of white vinegar or lemon juice to a liquid measuring cup and filling it with milk to the 1-cup line. Let it stand for 5 minutes before using.
