Milk+vinegar or plain milk instead of buttermilk?

Question

Has anyone tried this cake with milk+vinegar in place if actual buttermilk? And, come to think of it, with all that lemon juice, couldn’t you just use regular milk?

While I've not made the substitution in this recipe, I do so most of the time in others. I use a teaspoon of white vinegar, for what I trust are obvious reasons, to each cup of (whole) milk; stir together, microwave for 30 seconds, then let sit for a couple of minutes.
