You can make your own buttermilk using whole or 2% milk and lemon juice or distilled vinegar. For every 1 cup of milk, stir in 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar.
If you want taller cake layers, use smaller cake pans such as a 7-inch or 8-inch size.
Oven temperatures vary and may need to be recalibrated periodically to ensure they are accurate. Make sure to check your cake at the lower end of the recommended baking time.
Make sure your cream cheese is at room temperature to ensure it blends fully with the rest of the ingredients and doesn't leave lumps.
