@Esra- You can make buttermilk at home by adding 1-2 tablespoons of lemon juice or vinegar to a cup of milk.

@Ilke After adding the sugar, I'd say 1-2 more minutes with the mixer set on high. Mixers vary in power and speed, though, so I would watch closely and test it as you go.

@RedMenace- No problem- I know the little red fox keeps you busy. Thanks for the grat recs!

I so agree, Shelley. It just make you want to dive right into that fluffy cloud of sweetness. Lemon buttermilk just sounds so good.

I do love a fluffy meringue--and lemon! Looks like a perfect cake. I still need to try pulverizing organic sugar in a food processor and then attempting a meringue with it.
