Add soda to buttermilk; stir well.
Sift dry ingredients together.
Add to creamed mixture, alternating with buttermilk. Mix well.

(This amount of batter will make 8 layers in 8-inch pans and 6 layers for 9-inch pans.) Batter will keep well if covered with waxed paper until all the layers are baked.
