2. Place the beater attachment and the bowl (  for whipping) into the refrigerator for 30 minutes before beating the whipping cream. 

3. If you don't have the buttermilk, you can use homemade buttermilk. Mix 3/4 cup of milk with 2 tablespoons of lemon juice or white vinegar and mix well. Then let it sit for 5 minutes before using it.

4. Don't overmix your batter, and mix until the flour just combined with the batter. This will help you to make a moist and fluffy cake.
