I'm leaning towards baking soda. There's buttermilk in the cake batter, so there's the acid (buttermilk) to the base (baking soda). That said, there is baking soda in baking powder (plus an acid, cream of tartar), so you could use either.

Haven’t made this recipe , but because the two versions don’t agree. I prefer not to guess at ingredient or quantity.

Some use both.
