** You can make your own buttermilk by putting 1/2 Tbsp of lemon juice in a 1/2 cup measuring cup and filling the rest of it with milk and letting it sit for at least 5 minutes.
*** If using cocoa powder instead of an extract: turn heat to low, add cocoa powder and whisk constantly until the powder is fully incorporated. It will take a few minutes.
